TinyCore 12.0 No wifi But get wifi in CorePlus

[pek]

Hi again everyone... I'm back with more questions 

So...
I can connect to wifi in CorePlus.. No problem. And here's what I got when running
lspci

01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a)

iwconfig

wlan0     IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any 
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=-2147483648 dBm   
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:on

dmesg

Code: [Select]

Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux
iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-8000C-36.ucode failed with error -2

iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: base HW address: f0:d5:bf:a3:9f:b7
Now...
I want to make my own TinyCore version with wifi capability that have all firmwares, so it can work to almost any wifi capable pc/laptop/mac.
So I installed TCZs like in the CorePlus list. (tce-load -wi ---to make sure all necessary dep also gets downloaded)

wifi.tcz
iw.tcz
firmware-atheros.tcz
firmware-ipw2100.tcz
firmware-ipw2200.tcz
firmware-iwimax.tcz
firmware-iwl8000.tcz
firmware-iwl9000.tcz
firmware-iwlwifi.tcz
firmware-marvel.tcz
firmware-myri10ge.tcz
firmware-netxen.tcz
firmware-openfwwf.tcz
firmware-ralinkwifi.tcz
firmware-rtlwifi.tcz
firmware-ti-connectivity.tcz
firmware-ueagle-atm.tcz
firmware-vxge.tcz
firmware-zd1211.tcz
pci-utils.tcz

But...
there's no sign of any wifi/wireless thing in iwconfig, lspci or dmesg in my TinyCore version.

Did I miss any TCZ at all?

Thanks.

Hi pek
Check that  wireless-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz  is loaded. If it is, try this:

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe iwlwifi

sudo modprobe iwlwifi

How to check if it's loaded?

I run tce-status -i and it's not there.
I also checked /usr/local/tce.installed/ .... and it's not there

Hi pek

How to check if it's loaded? ...

Exactly the way you listed.

When you loaded  wifi.tcz  it should have loaded  wireless_tools.tcz  which should have loaded  wireless-KERNEL-tinycore.tcz.

Thank you very much Rich..!! 
You are right, some TCZs were not loaded. I guess my usb stick is corrupted.

All good now. Thanks.

Hi pek
You are welcome. Thank you for explaining the issue and confirming your success.

It's been a bit - is wi-fi included in the .iso? I didn't think so.

[Rich]

Hi NewUser
It's included in the  CorePlus  ISO.

Hi NewUser
It's included in the  CorePlus  ISO.

OPs question was concerning TinyCore not TCPlus.
