No Wireless extension on iwconfig

(1/3) > >>

Titicplusplus:
Hi!

I installed Core Plus on an old pc with a wireless card.
When I run "wifi" on the tabbar or with
--- Code: ---sudo wifi.sh
--- End code ---
, that print me nothing.

I try
--- Code: ---iwconfig
--- End code ---

--- Code: ---lo                    no wireless extension

dummy0         no wireless extension

tunl0               no wireless extension

eth0                no wireless extension

--- End code ---

But when I run
--- Code: ---sudo lspci -vv
--- End code ---
, I find my card:

--- Code: ---05:04.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps Wireless Interface
            Subsystem: Netgear WG311v2 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter

--- End code ---

With this tuto http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=wiki:setting_up_wifi
I try
--- Code: ---modprobe -l grep ath
--- End code ---
and I find
--- Code: ---ath9k.ko.gz
--- End code ---
and
--- Code: ---ath5k.ko.gz
--- End code ---

But when I run
--- Code: ---lsmod | grep ath
--- End code ---
I have nothing :/

I am continue the research and I find this command
--- Code: --- modprobe ath_pci
--- End code ---

But he says that don't find the ath_pci.

What I need do ?
Thank you in advance

As per this: https://wiki.debian.org/acx

..you need to compile the driver and download the firmware.

Hi Juanito,

I'm a little confused

I can't find the folder "/lib/firmware", I have to create it or just put all the files in "/lib/".

To compile the driver, I need the dkms command, but I don't find how to install it on core plus.
 The computer doesn't have internet connection, I would to download the "compiletc.tcz" ( I think i can help me for the compilation) on another pc, but I don't find the a link, I just have this website : http://tinycorelinux.net/3.x/tcz/index_nojs.html

Thank you in advance !

Juanito:
You can use /lib/firmware or /usr/local/lib/firmware.

dkms is a debian thing - in tinycore you need to prepare the kernel source with the tinycore kernel config using the compiletc, ncurses-dev, perl5, bc and elfutils-dev extensions.

The extensions for the most recent version of tinycore are at repo.tinycorelinux.net/12.x/x86/tcz

Hi! Juanito

I found an internet cable to install the *.tcz

But when I try to compile the driver :


--- Code: ---make
--- End code ---

I have this error :

--- Code: ---*** /lib/modules/5.10.3-tinycore/build: No Susc file or direcoty. Stop
--- End code ---
So I create folder build in /lib/modules/5.10.3-tinycore/.

But when I recompile, I have this error :

--- Code: ---*** No rules to make target 'modules'. Stop
--- End code ---

I saw that I needed "linux-kernel-sources-env.tcz".
So I tryed
--- Code: ---tce-load -iw linux-kernel-sources-env.tcz
--- End code ---
like it :
--- Code: ---http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=20827.0
--- End code ---
.

But he don't find the package on internet.
So what I need to do ?

Thank you in advance !
