Oops sorry, I forgot to paste the wifi card device id

Juanito:
Could you post the results of this command in tinycore:
--- Code: ---$ lspci -vnn -d 14e4:
--- End code ---

14e4:0177 does not look correct?

The wl-modules-KERNEL extension will probably work - remember to blacklist the bcma, ssb and b43 modules

PayloadHasher:
Here it is:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev03)
      Subsystem: Apple Inc. Device [106b:0117]
      Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
      Memory at b0600000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K]
      Memory at b0400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M]
      Capabilities: <access denied>
      Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge

P.S. Where can I find & download the "wl-modules-KERNEL extension" you mentioned??
Thanks a lot

Juanito:
Hmm - as per: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

..you look to be out of luck for pci id 14e4:4360, but the wl driver should work for 14e4:43a0

broadcom's wl driver was last updated in 2015 and says:
--- Quote ---Broadcom's IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n hybrid Linux.. device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227- and BCM43228-based hardware
--- End quote ---

..so I'd be kind of surprised if it worked - where did the debian package come from?

to use the wl-modules-KERNEL extension, either use the apps gui to download it or "tce-load -wil wl-modules-KERNEL"

PayloadHasher:
I typed the command and it said that the module is already installed. Is that what supposed to happen?
I got the broadcom-sta-dkms.deb package from this link: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/broadcom-sta-dkms

Just a question: Is TC Linux compatible with Mac hardware? is there just a little bit of incompatibility or a lot?
