Tiny Core Base > CorePlus
Wifi card problem with CorePlus on MacBook Air
Juanito:
If it says the module is already installed, that's fine.
Do you know if you have the the bcma, ssb and b43 modules blacklisted? You can check by looking at the control panel -> system stats -> boot.
You can also check with iwconfig if you have eth1 (used by broadcom for wifi) and examine dmesg for details on broadcom, wifi or eth0.
The debian version of the wl driver is 6.30.223.248, whereas the tinycore version is 6.30.223.271, but the debian version says it supports "BCM4360-, and BCM4352-based hardware" - since the tinycore version appears to be more recent, you would think it also supports those?
tinycorelinux works fine on my mac mini
PayloadHasher:
I check the system stats > boot panel and I saw nothing related to "network", "broadcom", "b43", "wl", "bcma", etc. I assume that means I didn't blacklist anything yet? How do I blacklist something? I searched on Google and tried the "modprobe blacklist" command but it didn't work.
P.S. I noticed a message saying "Unsupported SPROM version" and "bcma: no SPROM available" during TC startup. Does that have anything to do with my network problems?
Juanito:
You need to blacklist the modules in your bootloader config, using blacklist=bcma blacklist=ssb blacklist=b43
I'm not sure about about the sprom message, but you would definately see something about broadcom in dmesg if the bcma, ssb and b43 modules were blacklisted and then the wl-modules-KERNEL extension was loaded.

You need to modify your extlinux.conf
The full-path should be /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/boot/extlinux.conf
At the line "APPEND", add blacklist=bcma blacklist=ssb blacklist=b43
Misalf:
Can be done a little shorter also.
--- Code: ---blacklist=bcma,ssb,b43
--- End code ---
