Realtek RTL 8188ce - how to install?

(1/3) > >>

Hi,

I have a Tiny Core USB installation (kernel 3.8.13). I can't see wifi card on a machine with Realtek RTL 8188ce card. How to install drivers? I added firmware-rtl8192ce_se_de.tcz or wl-r8188eu-3.8.13-tinycore.tcz, with blacklist=rtl8192ce (it was seen in lsmod, disapeared after this switch)- but no effect…

Any help would be appreciated…

This is a RealTek PCIE Wireless LAN card?

coreplayer2:
I also noticed that rtl8188ce is supported by rtl8192ce 

firmware-rtlwifi.tcz or firmware-rtl8192ce_se_de.tcz
wireless-3.8.13-tinycore.tcz or wireless-3.8.13-tinycore64.tcz

wireless-3.8.13-tinycore.tcz is normally installed as a dependency of wifi.tcz


***so these extensions should be all you need
firmware-rtlwifi.tcz or firmware-rtl8192ce_se_de.tcz
wifi.tcz


if not then I have an alternative driver which most likely will work for you

coreplayer2:
for the alternative driver I need info

do you need 32bit drivers or 64bit drivers?
also which country will this device operate?

Thanks for help :)

I think it is on-board wifi chipset… It is detected in Windows as RTL 8188ce, but in standard Tiny Core Linux installation it is seen in lsmod as rtl8192ce.

Do I need to add bootcode blacklist=rtl8192ce, together with extensions? Regarding extensions- I tried all mantioned by you but with no effect…

Does order of extensions load matter in this case? As I unserstand, the extensions are loaded after kernel started, so how it works that the extensions are loaded as kernel modules? Sorry for my stupid questions but I'm new into Linux :)

I'm using 32-bit system.
