Re: WLAN Out to Lunch
1) CorePlus-4.7.3.iso
2) hp dv8000
3) Wireless Chip Set: Broadcom Corporataion BCM4318 [AirForcce One 54g] 802.11g

Hi,
CorePlus-4.7.3 booted from LiveUSB, on hp laptop referenced above,  but cannot find wifi OoTB!
The b43 firmware cutter appears to be bundled with ISO.  What is the correct way to install the b43 wifi driver?
Regards,
eltone

$ sudo lspci -v

welcome to TinyCore. I am not an expert and used wired but did try the coreplus on a neighbour who had broadcom

assuming you chose the top menu item to boot and click on the wifi icon and it said no wireless devices found try this

open a terminal and run


--- Code: ---lsmod | grep b43
---if no list found then try
sudo modprobe b43
(and repeat lsmod command to see new list as per image)

--- End code ---

then retry the wifi wbar icon

good luck

EDIT
it looks like the 4318 is ok by this link

I am not an expert, but I can remember I never touched the network panel

until you get a better reply try again and don't touch network
IMHO the wireless must be detected then choose an network then input the WPA2 or whatever security you have
--then you have a network

I will have to slink away as am not an expert
good luck

Hi eltone

I don't know if  tinycore  is still recognized. Hit F2 before entering the bootcodes for the correct options. I think
they are   plus   tc   mc. You want   plus   and it only needs to be entered once as the first item.
You can blacklist multiple items like this:

--- Code: ---blacklist=bcma,wl
--- End code ---
