Base CorePlus: Connect WiFi
Juanito:
As long as firmware-ralinkwifi is loaded before the wifi extension, the rt2870.bin firmware will be loaded by your driver automatically.
(Assuming your driver is provided by wireless-5.4.3-tinycore - is it rtl8821ae.ko.gz?)
Hamma:
And I would use what to run that check? dmesg, or?
Juanito:
Load the wifi extension and use dmesg to look for wifi messages or otherwise load the pci-utils/usbutils extensions and use lspci/lsusb to look for your hardware.
Hamma:
OK. Walk before you run. I'll give your suggestions a shot.

Hi Hamma

There is an editor. It's called editor. Hover over the icon that looks like a blue fountain pen with a yellow tip. You should see the
text Editor displayed. Single click the icon. Or click on the desktop to bring up the menu. Then SystemTools->Editor. You're
right, it's not that complicated.

Sorry, it just got complicated. A basic install starts with the minimum required to get you started. A file manager is nice to have, but
it is not required to get you started.
An editor is required so you can alter configuration files if necessary. Its requirements are simple. It edits straight ASCII. It can
copy/paste. It can find/replace. The GUI is user friendly. That's all the included editor does, no more, no less.
Even if someone decided to include a file manager as a convenience, which one is the right one to include? No matter which
one file manager you include, 10% of the users will be happy there is a file manager, and the other 90% will be upset
because it's the wrong file manager.
Just like web browsers, video players, audio players, etc. , installing the correct file manager is left up to you.
