Wiki List of supported wifi devices

Vinnie, why don't you post the last 50 or so lines from the dmesg log then maybe we can tell.     Which extensions did you install to get wireless up and running?

I can do better and even paste the entire dmesg! 

[Juanito]

just attaching it would be fine..

[vinnie]

ah yes, true, I also had to link it!
sorry, I am a bit sleepy

Looking at:

Code: [Select]

ieee80211 phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'ath9k_rate_control'
Registered led device: ath9k-phy0
ieee80211 phy0: Atheros AR9285 Rev:2 mem=0xf8480000, irq=17

..and:

Code: [Select]

wlan0: authenticate with 5c:da:d4:4f:8b:76 (try 1)
wlan0: authenticated
wlan0: associate with 5c:da:d4:4f:8b:76 (try 1)
wlan0: RX AssocResp from 5c:da:d4:4f:8b:76 (capab=0x411 status=0 aid=1)
wlan0: associated

..I'd say you didn't need any additional firmware for things to work

[vinnie]

I'm lucky  , but the package wireless-3.0.21-tinycore contains firmware of other card? is useless for me?

[Juanito]

You'll still need wireless-3.0.21-tinycore for the modules to support your wireless driver. As far as I recall, it does not contain any firmware files.

If you enter "modinfo your_wifi_module_name", it's almost certain it will depend on one or more modules from wireless-3.0.21-tinycore

[coreplayer2]

Vinnie  according to your dmesg   your wifi card "Atheros AR9285 Rev:2" needs at least "cfg80211" module which is in "wireless-3.0.xx-tinycore"

Thanks

[vinnie]

Thanks to you!

[coreplayer2]

Your welcome.

Also I like the command line paste bin   "sprunge"    how do you use it??

[tinypoodle]

Your welcome.

Suggestion you take this to a thread in the "Off Topic" subforum   

[vinnie]

Your welcome.

Also I like the command line paste bin   "sprunge"    how do you use it??

microOT, I promise

search on appbrowser sprunge_script and read with attention the info ^_^

[coreplayer2]

See that's exactly what was asked thanks Vinnie for the heads up on the command line paste bin..  could come in handy here too 


Really was there any need for an off topic comment..

[tinypoodle]

Not having been aware of a respective extension, I was ready to post my own script for sprunge - but I would not do so in a thread and subforum where such would be totally off-topic.

NB: My own script which does the job for me is 54 bytes, I would find using an extension a bit disproportional.

[coreplayer2]

That would be cool too,   so please make a thread and link too it so we can find it thanks

Meanwhile anyone with wifi devices please post your spec as per the template here
