I just installed TC 3.0 on a Fujitsu Lifebook P1120. When I tried to check for the Prism2 Wifi NIC (need a module for that, too, it seems) with iwconfig per the wifi installation how-to doc, the command was not found, even when I tried it with sudo.
TIA,

Hi,
iwconfig is in the wireless_tools.tcz extension. If there are any other commands that you are looking for, you can use http://www.tinycorelinux.com/cgi-bin/whatprovides3x.cgi (http://www.tinycorelinux.com/cgi-bin/whatprovides3x.cgi) Type in the command name and it will tell you which extension provides it.

Please use appsbrowser's Provides to seek such information.
Simply click on Search to toggle between Search and Provides

wireless modules should be automatically downloaded as a dependency with wireless_tools.tcz.
The orinoco or hostap driver should both work for a Prism2.

Thanks, all. I should have seen that bit about iwconfig being included with the wireless tools extension - was jumping around in the doc too much (getting ADD as I get older ;-)
Robert, where is "appsbrowser"? [Never mind - finding/reading more docs, I see it is available within TC, but that is a sort of Catch-22 in needing TC running to see how to modify it (at least for networking that is pre-req to everything that is obtained over the network). Guess I should look around to see if its equivalent function is on these TC-related websites?]
TIA,
Rory
