I've added the following lines


--- Code: ---mkdir /lib/modules/4.14.10-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
ln -s ~/rtl8723de/8723de.ko /lib/modules/4.14.10-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8723de.ko
echo kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8723de.ko: >> /lib/modules/4.14.10-tinycore/modules.dep
modprobe kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8723de.ko

--- End code ---

the first 3 lines executes as expected, listing the directory wireless shows the 8723de.ko file, but doing sudo modprobe 8723de.ko it says:


--- Code: ---modprobe: can't load module 8723de.ko (kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8723de.ko): No such file or directory

--- End code ---

I am newbie on linux, I don't know what to do :(

Hi julcar
Give this a try:

--- Code: ---mkdir /lib/modules/4.14.10-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
cp ~/rtl8723de/8723de.ko /lib/modules/4.14.10-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
depmod -a
modprobe 8723de
--- End code ---

Juanito:
Did you try this:
--- Code: ---$ sudo insmod /home/tc/somedir/8723de.ko
--- End code ---

Running these commands manually at terminal activates the wlan0 interface as iwconfig says, but for some reason doesn't work when are in the bootlocal.sh script, failing on the file copying, because listing the wireless directory sends empty response

julcar:
SOLVED! doing try/fail tests found that the cp command fails to parse the ~/ but not the full dir /home/tc does the trick!

the bootlocal.sh looks just as this


--- Code: ---mkdir /lib/modules/4.14.10-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
cp /home/tc/rtl8723de/8723de.ko /lib/modules/4.14.10-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
depmod -a
modprobe 8723de

--- End code ---

et voilá!... wlan0 activated at boot time, so much thanks Rich
