Hi again everyone... I'm back with more questions ;)
So...
I can connect to wifi in CorePlus.. No problem. And here's what I got when running
lspci
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a)
iwconfig
wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=-2147483648 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
dmesg
Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux
iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-36.ucode failed with error -2
iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Falling back to sysfs fallback for: iwlwifi-8000C-36.ucode

iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: base HW address: f0:d5:bf:a3:9f:b7
Now...
I want to make my own TinyCore version with wifi capability that have all firmwares, so it can work to almost any wifi capable pc/laptop/mac.
So I installed TCZs like in the CorePlus list. (tce-load -wi ---to make sure all necessary dep also gets downloaded)
wifi.tcz
iw.tcz
firmware-atheros.tcz
firmware-ipw2100.tcz
firmware-ipw2200.tcz
firmware-iwimax.tcz
firmware-iwl8000.tcz
firmware-iwl9000.tcz
firmware-iwlwifi.tcz
firmware-marvel.tcz
firmware-myri10ge.tcz
firmware-netxen.tcz
firmware-openfwwf.tcz
firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz
firmware-rtlwifi.tcz
firmware-ti-connectivity.tcz
firmware-ueagle-atm.tcz
firmware-vxge.tcz
firmware-zd1211.tcz
pci-utils.tcz
But...
there's no sign of any wifi/wireless thing in iwconfig, lspci or dmesg in my TinyCore version.
Did I miss any TCZ at all?
Thanks.

Hi pek
If you run:
lsmod

Hi pek
Check that wireless-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz is loaded. If it is, try this:
sudo modprobe iwlwifi

Hi pek
Check that wireless-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz is loaded. If it is, try this:
sudo modprobe iwlwifi
How to check if it's loaded?
I run tce-status -i and it's not there.
I also checked /usr/local/tce.installed/ .... and it's not there

Hi pek
How to check if it's loaded? ...
Exactly the way you listed.
When you loaded wifi.tcz it should have loaded wireless_tools.tcz which should have loaded wireless-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz.
-
Thank you very much Rich..!! ;D ;D
You are right, some TCZs were not loaded. I guess my usb stick is corrupted.
All good now. Thanks.

Hi pek
You are welcome. Thank you for explaining the issue and confirming your success.
-
It's been a bit - is wi-fi included in the .iso? I didn't think so.

Hi NewUser
It's included in the CorePlus ISO.

Hi NewUser
It's included in the CorePlus ISO.
OPs question was concerning TinyCore not TCPlus.
