How to get and install WiFi using dial-up
tom:
I'm using TC Linux 3.2 and am wondering how I can download
WiFi using another computer and dial-up. Unfortunately I can use
dail-up and WiFi only.

It can be done, but first it would be good to know what wifi hardware you have (manufacturer, chipset) in order to be able to give advice on what exactly would be needed.
If you're not sure of your hardware, you can download the following and copy them over to your tc machine to help locate things using either "lspci" or "lsusb", depending on whether you have pci or usb hardware:

That was quick.
I'm using the ASUS eeePC 701 with an Atheros chipset. I load from the built-in
SDC-cardreader using grub - no problems there.

Have a look at this: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=6776.msg35619#msg35619
If you're lucky, you should just need:

Thanks, have just downloaded the two files using Slackware. I'll have to spend a bit
of time now to put them into Tinycorelinux 3.2
