piCore-7.0alpha8
Paul_123:
Was playing wtih a Rpi B+, and I'm having a problem where the kernel module for the wifi card is not loading on boot. The USB bus is registering the stick, but just not loading the driver.
If I plug in the USB stick after the pi is booted, then the kernel module loads just fine. Also loading the driver manually in bootlocal works fine too.

I've had a problem like this too, but not perticularly with this piCore version. In the end it appeared to be that a reboot doesn't always work with some USB wifi adapters.
The USB wifi adapter didn't really reboot properly when the Pi was rebooted.
Unplugging the power to the Pi (and with it the USB wifi adapter), and waiting until the lights (on power adapter and Pi) are really off, and then plug the power back in "solved" it.
I think the reboot via the command line happens to fast for the USB wifi adapter to react, leaving it in a corrupt state.
Unplugging it for every reboot is a bit off a nuisance though...

I've not been using wifi alot on the picore lately. So I don't know when this started. But was definitely not an issue with picore 6.1 I don't think there is a corruption, as there are no errors and if I load the kernel driver manually, it works just fine.
This is acting like the USB is starting faster than we are mounting the kernel drivers in the extensions.
