Hi
I have really enjoyed playing with TinyCore for the past 5 years or so on Pi, PC and VM. Thankyou.
I have now installed TinyCorePure64-12.0 to an Intel Compute stick STCK1A32WFC.
I am not presently interested in BT or audio but value WiFi, none of which are detected by the kernel.
That is to say there is no mention of them in dmesg.
Everything else seems to be working well.
I have successfully installed three different USB wifi adapters as a trouble shooting exercise.
A Netgear RTL8187, a TPLink AR9271 and a no brand MT7601u.
While they all worked well, a Linksys RT3572 would not.
Looking inside wireless-5.10.3-tinycore64.tcz \wireless\realtek\rtlwifi\ I can't find any reference to RTL8723bs.
Likewise in \wireless\ralink\ I can not find any RT3572.
I would have assumed that this meant that niether the RTL8723bs or RT3572 are supported.
But to confuse myself further I looked inside firmware-rtlwifi.tcz lib\firmware\rtlwifi\ and found references to the RTL8723bs.
I have read many forums relating to older versions of Core and other distros.
The only success appears to have come from recompiling, a task I don't care for.
Q. Does TinyCore support the RTL8723bs, is it broke or am I.
