Hi Xianwen Chen
The one AppBrowser uses when it gets an extension for you. You want:
pci-utils.tcz
usb-utils.tcz

[gerald_clark]

They are in pci-utils and usb-utils.  AppBrowser could have found them for you.

Thank you Rich.

That's true. Thank you Gerald. But if you try lsusb and lspci, which were the keywords that I used in AppBrowser, it gives you nothing.

[gerald_clark]

You have to change "Search" to "Provides".

Never noticed that. Thank you Gerald.

[vinnie]

"provides" is very usefull type of research, is very interesting because it searches for files in all packages

O.t. I hope that in future there is a keywords field in info file

Hi Xianwen Chen
You forgot to mention which driver you use.

It is a

Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)

.

As per here:

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices

..your device is not supported in the tinycore 3.0.3 kernel

But as per here:

http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

..it looks like your device is suported by the "wl" driver in the wl-modules-3.0.3-tinycore extension

No, it's not supported by 3.0.3 kernel, as it was a driver in stage and wasn't enabled. It just went out of stage few weeks ago. I'm hoping that when the kernel is updated next time, this driver will be included.

[Juanito]

In the meantime, you could use the broadcom wl driver or compile the latest compat wireless

No, it doesn't work. But I do have USB wireless adapters which old kernels recognize; so I can wait for a new kernel.

Did you blacklist b43, bcma and ssb before trying it?

[Xianwen Chen]

Did you blacklist b43, bcma and ssb before trying it?

Maybe no? I did sudo modprobe with the three lines of  commands in the info file. How to blacklist modules?

Hi Xianwen Chen
Try adding the following boot codes:

Code: [Select]

blacklist=ssb blacklist=bcma blacklist=b43
