Hello aime

First, It's no trouble..

Second, I'm surprised you have more than one wifi adapter in a notebook! The lenovo t410 came with a choice of three, but AIUI only one installed. Anyhow, better confirm which adapters are installed and which adapter are you planning on using?

Install pci-utils.tcz and usbutils.tcz extensions, then to obtain hardware info run

--- Code: ---lspci -k
lsusb

--- End code ---

To Blacklist undesirable modules please add the blacklist=module_name bootcode to your boot config file.

In a Typical TC installation the boot config file (often called extlinux.conf) may be found in /tce/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf

to edit try:

--- Code: ---sudo editor /tce/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
--- End code ---
Or

--- Code: ---sudo editor /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
--- End code ---

Add blacklist code to the append line, eg:

--- Code: ---APPEND initrd=/boot/core.gz quiet blacklist=rtl8192se
--- End code ---
Note: be careful not to blacklist modules you might need.

BTW, copy and paste is easy; simply highlight the text to copy and then align the cursor at the desire spot and depress the middle mouse button to paste.

Also we recommend reading the core book: http://tinycorelinux.net/book.html

where does that get us? Is the rt18192se the one needing to be disabled?

I'm not familiar with your notebook except what I've researched to help out, but it appears the wifi adapter has been upgraded to an RealTek device. Unless i missed the mystery Intel 6300 adapter in the list the only wifi adapter I see installed is a

--- Quote ---Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10)

--- End quote ---
Unfortunately the default rtl8192se module doesn't work, so.. In which case no need to blacklist any wifi device because AFAIK you only have one, simply install " rtlwifi-4.8.17-tinycore.tcz " extension and reboot.

Please show contents of " /tce/onboot.lst " try

--- Code: ---cat /tce/onboot.lst
--- End code ---

but at the very least make sure you have only these WiFi extensions installed, in this order

--- Code: ---firmware-rtlwifi.tcz
rtlwifi-4.8.17-tinycore.tcz
wifi.tcz
--- End code ---

After installing " rtlwifi-4.8.17-tinycore.tcz " and rebooting I decided to attempt a connection using " wifi ". The attempt was successful according to the application so I decided to open this page and the repository with confidence and they failed to load. I will incude a screenshot.

I used your instruction and checked the " onboot.lst " file for " firmware-rtlwifi.tcz " and it was absent. Proceeded to tether up and fetch this extension. I installed it from " Apps" using the ' on boot ' option and restarted this process rendering the same results:

Connection established
cant connect with browser or repository
firmware-rtlwifi.tcz missing
reinstalling

So then after the second attempt and " firmware-rtlwifi.tcz " missing once more I reinstalled the package, exited " Apps ", reopened " Apps " and searched for the package to see if it actually installed. It didn't, so i repeated the process a couple more times producing the same results.

I am atleast getting a message from " wifi " confirming connectivity, which is a step forward from my previous position. I will delete and reorder all extensions in regards to your instruction.

EDIT- reordered and deleted extensions and same results. Even included " firmware-rtlwifi.tcz " despite the extension not installing during a session or after reboot and still received the same.

Hi aime
Do you have a nameserver listed in /etc/resolve.conf? This is what mine looks like:

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 68.237.161.12
nameserver 71.243.0.12
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---
Your ISP should have provided you with a maneserver IP address.

To see if you're connected to the outside world try the ping command:

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ sudo ping -c3 8.8.8.8
PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=0 ttl=60 time=7.724 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=7.331 ms
64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=2 ttl=60 time=7.607 ms
--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 7.331/7.554/7.724/0.165 ms
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---
If it comes back with 100% packet loss then you might have a routing problem. If that's the case post the output of:

--- Code: ---route -n
--- End code ---
