wireless-3.0.21-tinycore contains:

rtl8180, rtl8187, rtl8192c/ce/cu/se

..you could try these to see if they'll work

[coreplayer2]

Is this a USB adapter??   is that  rtl8188ru  a typo?   

maybe it's this one?  RTL8192SU/RTL8188SU/RTL8191SU Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter

if so I may have the (driver) extension  for it, I just haven't submitted it yet for the repository, but I guess I can send it to you for testing

It's an ALFA AWU036NHR USB adapter! It'll be great if you send it to me The other question how to install it I found some articles about it, now trying to "get married" with compat-wireless-2.6.39 but still nothing((((

install the wifi extension and double-click on the icon

[coreplayer2]

Odly we are creating a wiki to help folks with this very issue..  here is the direct link list_of_supported_wifi_devices 

From the command line type:   lsusb   to correctly identify the chip used in the device.    afaik the chip could be manufactured by either  RealTek or a Ralink

hello, i'm french and a noob on tc,
i'd like to use my rtl8192su chipset usb wifi key (dlink dwa-131) on the current tc , can you do something for me ?
thank you

[coreplayer2]

Welcome cep33920

You'll find the driver in the repository under the name of " wl-rtl8192u-3.0.21-tinycore " or " wireless-3.0.21-tinycore "

the device will also need firmware found in " firmware.tcz "

Install both the above with tc's wifi connection manager " wifi.tcz "and you'll be set.  Simply select the wifi icon and follow the prompts to connect.

with mounts it's probably better :

[tinypoodle]

None of your loaded modules is related to wireless.

[coreplayer2]

Yes exactly, tinypoodle hit the nail on the head.  modules are not loaded.  Are the extensions listed in your onboot.lst ?

[coreplayer2]

For this device you should have at least these modules loaded when the command lsmod is executed

rtlwifi
rtl8192cu

and possibly
rtl8192c_common
cfg80211
mac80211

The list of mounts indicate there are many extensions installed most are not required, but the firmware.tcz which is required is missing..!

[Rich]

Hi coreplayer2

but the firmware.tcz which is required is missing..!

Isn't it listed under loop18?
