unreliable wifi

(1/4) > >>

pppqq:
hello,
I have installed tinycore on a raspberry pi zero and am investigating if it is going to be useful.
I installed firmware-rpi-wifi and wifi.
I bring up the wifi link using wifi.sh, entered the ssid and password ok.
The link is established initially (using wifi.sh -a) but after a while it drops and takes a long time to re-establish.
I can initially log on with ssh (i want to run the pi headless) but the link fails after a short while and rarely resumes.

I can run the same sdcard on a pi B  using an ethernet connection and that is very reliable.

There is nothing wrong with my wifi as i can run the same pi reliably using raspian and ultibo builds.

I do not own a pi Zero myself, but are you not able access it using serial / usb cable to the pi to check logs, dmesg ?

maybe you can run a script  in a loop to dump dmesg output every minute to a file in /mnt/mmcblkXXX/tce folder , so you can read them after a reboot

Paul_123:
What version did you install, if you are using 15.0 did you read the known issues on the release announcement?

pppqq:
i am using version 15.0 - didn't see anything about wifi in the installation notes.

I want to know if the packages i have installed are the "right" ones or if there's something better.

The raspian wifi handling seems to be rock solid - are the TC packages derived from that code ? or re-invented.
