Hi Paul_123

thanks for question. Its not but I will attempt to use commands to connect to it...when I get a chance.
Simple things first for me.

to anyone else, I just attempted to see if firmware could go to /usr/local/lib/firmware and I made
wireless-regdb.tcz a dep of TC64 14x wireless-KERNEL.tcz and then  in dmesg I see
platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2

in TC64
--- Code: ---modinfo cfg80211 | grep firmware
firmware:       regulatory.db
--- End code ---

there is some chat that some things may not be distributable, but my planned any arch TCE will have only database files and no private certs
---if I can connect to my unhidden (maybe hidden) router

I know its difficult to know if firmware has loaded...anyhow I shall build to /lib/firmware and see if dmesg drops message

EDIT lib/firmware works as per OP link

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ dmesg | grep regulatory.db
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---

I was trying to take Paul's advice but knew I would have to type in a long SSID and just as long passphrase.
so I renamed my 2.4 and 5 SSIDs to puss and cat. That shorter SSID appears to have made the difference
router SSID is now visible...WOO HOO

eth0 is down and I am typing on wifi.  And did not have to try and learn a manual command. And I know my module is good to submit too
with wireless-regdb

Hi Paul_123
Even tho it was not hidden...it was your advice that led me to solve this issue. A trap only for those spoilt on ethernet.
thanks for all your help

Hi Rich
