[SOLVED] Wireless support in microcore
« on: January 17, 2013, 02:50:53 AM »
I'm remastering microcore with clamav to have a little antivirustool. I wan't wireless support for portables. I know my networkcard is supported by the coreplus version. I already remastered microcore 4.7 with the following packages:

clamav
wireless_tools.tcz – gives you iwconfig and other tools
wireless-`uname -r`-tinycore.tcz – in-kernel wifi drivers
wpa-supplicant.tcz (which depends on openssl-0.9.8.tcz) – wpa_supplicant tool for negotiating secured access points
kmap

Which other packages contain drivers because the remastered isofile doesn't support my wireless card (intel 6300).

Likely it needs firmware (firmware-iwlwifi is my guess). Check the dmesg for the firmware name, and use the provides search to see which extension has it.

Or do like CorePlus does and include firmware* ;)
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Your firmware did it. Including all firmware was not an option because I need the ISO to be as small as possible. Thanx for the help.

Then you can make your own extension with just the exact firmware and driver you need for your pc, discarding the remainder unneeded firmware to keep things small

Less then 52MB is fair enough  :)
