Juanito:
Does "lsmod" show if the driver for your wifi hardware (rt2800pci?) was loaded?

RYTCL:
Here is the lsmod output

Juanito:
There do not appear to be any wifi drivers loaded.

You can verify that the wireless-KERNEL extension is loaded with:
--- Code: ---$ tce-status -i | grep wireless
--- End code ---

If wireless-KERNEL is loaded, you can try this:
--- Code: ---$ sudo modprobe rt2800pci
--- End code ---
..and then check lsmod and dmesg

Hi Juanito
I found this in his Ubuntu dmesg:

The Tinycore dmesg stops after the first 3 lines.

It looks like WIRELESS-KERNEL is not loaded.
