Tiny Core Base > CorePlus
BCM43228 Not showing up.
evertvaningen:
I am trying to install the BCM43228 WiFi adapter on a HP Thin Client T510.
Installed the WL modules
I need to blacklist the bcma, ssb and b43 modules for this to work.
I tried editing the /etc/modprobe.conf by adding
blacklist ssb
blacklist bcma
blacklist b43
after reboot the changes are gone, I am new to Tiny Core and are confused :-[ all the time so bare with me here.
I cant use F2 F3 F4 at boot prompt to edit the bootcode because it is installed on a 1GB Flash IDE?
I just want to use this Thin Client as a online radio. Ifconfig and iwconfig tells me there is no Wlan0... lspci tell me there is one...
Click WiFi icon below... Green Sudo cursor appears and then nothing.
sudo wicd-start "command not found" <- Wicd is installed
I don't know what i'm doing and are at loss here.

Welcome evertvaningen
To blacklist any module simply add the modules to the boot config file
Append this boot code to the boot conf file
blacklist=b43,ssb,bcma
Note: boot config file location depends on how you installed tinycore to a USB thumbdrive. Most likely "extlinux.conf" will be located iin /tce/boot. If lost, then use the find utility from the terminal to find all config files
--- Code: ---sudo find / -iname "*conf"
--- End code ---
I suggest reading the core book for valuable insight to core fundamentals
http://tinycorelinux.net/book.html
If you have an Ethernet connection available, you wouldn't need to blacklist the b43 modules, but you would need to cut the firmware from Broadcom's own drivers. Using firmware-getb43 extension simplifies that task and creates the required firmware extension for you
I strongly recommend the wifi.tcz (extension) over any other wifi connection app. Honestly I've tried wicd but have always returned to using wifi.tcz extension for long term use. It's up to you, there are many options.
For wifi, all that is needed is
wifi.tcz
any modules specific to the hardware
and firmware-(foryourhardware).tcz

I looked in http://tinycorelinux.net/book.html

If you installed with tc-install extension.
The default route is /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
Or /mnt/your_disk/boot if you choosed vfat as your filesystem.

.... black screen on boot... second boot no problem :P
It worked! Eth1 was added to Iwconfig
