dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86

Initial SCEs on dCore-repo: add firmware

(1/1)

sm8ps:
I am compiling another how-to and am trying to cover most all imaginable cases. If someone does not have an Ethernet connection but does rely on wireless only, they depend on side-loading the extensions for wireless from the dCore-repo. There is wireless-<KERNEL>-tinycore.sce and wireless.sce available which is good.

However, if the wlan-nic needs firmware then one is quite at loss. Would it be possible to include the (Ubuntu) packages linux-firmware as well as linux-firmware-nonfree (and similar for Debian) in the repo? One down-side I can think of is that these packages occasionally get updated so one would have to make sure they are sort of up to date.

Jason W:
Are you talking about wireless firmware?  All linux firmware is included in the wireless.sce extension, as many wireless devices need firmware.

sm8ps:
Yes, I was talking about wireless firmware, indeed. Thanks for clarifying!
