Hi bmarkus.

Do you need to load any special firmware to use this wifi adaptor?

bmarkus:
Hi Steen

thanks for trying it. Freezed rc3, no more kernel changes before release.

It requires a firmware but nothing special, it is in the repo:

Hi bmarkus

Just checked the repro:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/4.x/armv6/tcz/ .... which is the link obtained from the front page.
or
http://tinycorelinux.net/4.x/armv6/tcz/ ... Which is the link obtained from the top of the forum page marked Download

I can only find:

--- Code: ---firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz
--- End code ---


But not 

--- Code: ---firmware-rtlwifi.tcz
--- End code ---

which previously was available

Also where is the firmware for your TP-Link firmware?

Steen

bmarkus:
firmware-atheros.tcz

Maybe you need to delete cached repo data and recheck (/tmp/md5.db /tmp/tags.db)
