wifi firmware

Hi,

Trying to get my pci WiFi card working. Its not found with iwconfig and dmesg shows the following...

Direct firmware load for rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw failed with error -2

I've found the firmware file in debian package and used deb2tcz and added it to onload but I still get the same.

I've downloaded the firmware file on its own but tbh I don't know what to do with it.

Appreciate any help,  thanks.

Juanito:
If you use the "provides" function of the "apps" gui, you'll find that rtl8168g-2.fw is provided by the firmware-rtl_nic extension.

Load that extension first and then load the wifi extension and you should be good to go.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I've got firmware-rtl_nic followed by wireless-4.2.9-tinycore64 in onboot and get the same error.

Juanito:
You need to ensure the firmware extension is loaded before the wireless-KERNEL extension.

Remove them both from oneboot.lst, reboot and load them manually to test.

I've removed them both and loaded them manually in the order you suggest and I'm still getting exactly the same response.
