According to the 64bit remix at http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=12665.0 the 64-bit modules for wl and ndiswrapper are needed for CorePlus.

Unfortunately, the latest kernel is 3.0.21 and no 64 bit modules are available for wl or ndiswrapper.

If there are instructions for how to build the modules, I can take a shot at it too.

CorePlus is 32 bit.

CorePlus is 32 bit.

I understand that. I'm stating that in order to do a complete 64-bit remix of CorePlus, I would need the specified 64-bit module packages. Without those, I can only achieve a partial 64-bit CorePlus. (And yes, I know that with vmlinuz64 and core64.gz, the userspace is still 32-bit.)

Note that the packages I am requesting have 64-bit versions for the 3.0.3-tinycore64 kernel, but there are not yet any for 3.0.21-tinycore64.

I won't be able to get around to this for a couple of weeks - please remind me again then and I'll take care of it.

Instructions for building 64-bit modules, if you want to try:

http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=6132.0

Since there's no specific headers extension, you can use the full kernel source. Note that the above topic is mainly about the difference to a "normal" 32-bit compile.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thanks for the info. When I get a chance, I'll see what I can do with building them myself. I'll send in the extensions if I get them working right.

The wl module tested OK, but I don't have a hardware/windows driver combination to test ndiswrapper
