I just saw that dmesg is telling me something about requesting firmwareand that this request failed and that it is looking for rt73.bin.

What is this? Where do I get firmware from? And why do I need it, I do not need it for any other distro.
Can somebody put some light on this maybe?

Thanks,
fladd

1. Download firmware drivers from http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400 to /tmp

2. Open a terminal

3. Go to /tmp and unpack the tarball


--- Code: ---cd /tmp
tar -xzf  rt73-cvs-daily.tar.gz
--- End code ---

4. Change directories


--- Code: ---cd  rt73-cvs-2009041204
--- End code ---

5. Follow instructions in README file:

* Firmware file (rt73.bin)

    The rt73 chipset uses a firmware file which is loaded in device
    memory using the kernel firmware_class facility. 'make install'
    copy the firmware file to the standard firmwares location:
    /lib/firmware.
 


--- Code: ---sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware
sudo cp Module/rt73.bin  /lib/firmware
--- End code ---

6. Bring up the interface


--- Code: ---sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
--- End code ---

7. Check that it's working


--- Code: ---ifconfig wlan0
--- End code ---

You should see something similar to this:

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:F3:06:18:5E  
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

8. Add /lib/firmware to /opt/.filetool.list


--- Code: ---echo lib/firmware >> /opt/.filetool.list
--- End code ---

9. Do a backup

Great, seems to work now.
I embedded the firmware in the iso.

Thanks,

Hello, I'm new to Linux and I'm trying to get things to work starting with wifi.

I tried every thing in this post but it isn't working.

I can unpack the tarbal but i can't compile it with make, i get "/bin/sh: make: not found"
skipping that part isn't working of course, with rox i can see the rt73.bin but in the terminal get  "cp: cannot stat 'Mobule/rt73.bin': No such file or directory

I'm stuck, do you people have any clue?
Remember i'm new to linux and i want to try tiny core because it's light quick and the way of mounting extensions is realy great. I also have issue's with kubuntu 9.04 with sound, google earth that i can't resolve.

And the only way i could compile my hp printer was with alot of coping and pasting from hp's website.

So al in al, i'm a big noob who want's to learn linux and say goodbey to Window$$$.

Hope you can help me with this wifi stuff.

Do you have an Intel Graphics chip in your PC?
