Is there anyway to connect to the internet using my wireless netgear card via command line?

what we need to know is at least:
1. model nr of card. PCI, USB, etc. - and which chip is inside the card: model number etc.
2. Which TinyCore version you are using? X86, ARM, etc.
3. Do you see the wlan0 interface using $ ifconfig?
4. Is wlan0 visible in /dev/ folder?

Net interfaces are not necessarily represented by a device node.
