unreliable wifi

[pppqq]

hello,
i have installed vs 14.1.
So far the pings to google are steady and there are no hold ups as before.

I am going to stick with this version for evaluation. Thanks.

I have a pi B with a wifi / usb dongle which works ok with Raspian.
When i try this setup with tinyCore it does not connect. When I run wifi.sh it does not list any active wifi SSIDs and then sits in an endless loop until i quit.

Am I just supposed to guess what hardware you are trying.  If you cannot supply hardware information, there is absolutely no way for us to help.

Drivers change in the linux kernel all the time, if you are using a 6.1 based kernel, and Raspbian is using a 6.6 kernel, there could obviously be differences.   This OS is not intended to be completely turnkey, there are just things that need to be done manually.   If you need a turnkey OS, then Raspbian is your best option.

Hi @pppqq

Take a look at Alpine Linux, that distro is also running in ram like tiny core.
