Looks perfectly normal.   What extensions do you have loaded?

Hi Paul,

  • firmware-rpi-wifi.tcz

  • wpa_supplicant.tcz

Did you add wireless_tools.tcz

Make sure you have downloaded the entire dependancy chain.  Each extension should have a .tcz  .tcz.md5sum.txt and make sure to get the .tcz.dep if its there.

Here is the tree
Code: [Select]
wifi.tcz
   wireless_tools.tcz
      wireless-4.9.22-piCore.tcz
   wpa_supplicant.tcz
      libnl.tcz
      openssl.tcz
         ca-certificates.tcz
      readline.tcz
         ncurses.tcz

onboot.lst should have

firmware-rpi-wifi.tcz
wifi.tcz

Hi Paul,

I put all files that you say but but wifi still isn't recognized.

I can not see errors / logs.

I am frustrated. I tryed DietPi on the same RasberryPi Zero W in 5 minutes: downloaded, edit only one txt file direct on SD , powered up and connected via ssh in wifi....

The more I look at the tree below, we are missing a dependency to libiw.tcz

Juanito, can you add libiw.tcz as a dependancy for wireless_tools

alessio,

Run the following

Code: [Select]
echo "libiw.tcz" >> /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional/wireless_tools.tcz.dep

tce-audit builddb
tce-audit fetchmissing

That should fix your local copy for now.

Sorrry, I was brain dead from work when I wrote that.  Without network access tce-audit does no good.

And i forgot to check the repo.  Somehow libiw is missing..... guess everyone is either upgrading or proficient from pulling from old versions

You should be able to use this copy.

I'm not sure why, but wireless_tools contains libiw in piCore-11.x (which means that we are missing the dev files).

I looked, I’ve never built libiw, I must have copied since piCore 8.  Libiw was a dependency in 8 and 9 too.  iwconfig is what is linked to libiw.

I just checked with:
Code: [Select]
$ tce-load -i firmware-rpi-wifi wifi
$ sudo wifi.sh
..and it works, so iwconfig is using the copy of libiw in wireless_tools

Seems it doesn't care much about version.  I had libiw installed on mine, and ldd was showing that link.

So then I don't know what the problem is on his end.

Hi TT
Were you able to connect to  picore:pi_zero_w_wifi  using your redirector? I couldn't find that link at the linuxsecrets site.

This site lists a  web.archive.org  link to  picore:pi_zero_w_wifi :
