Hi retro_bread
Welcome to the forum.

i have tinycore installed in my usb disk (gui only without wifi) ...

I think that may have been a mistake. If you install  gui with wifi , chances
are the required drivers and firmware will be present.

Once it's working, unneeded extensions can be removed.

Hi retro_bread
A little bit of Google foo and it turns out the TL-WN722N was
released with at least 2 different chip sets, Atheros and Realtek.

So  gui with wifi  would be the best choice.

Try firmware-rtlwifi.tcz
I hope this helps

Hi CleverClogs
That would be for an earlier version.
A later version would have needed firmware-atheros.tcz.

Hi Rich
Thanks that is useful info. (you did mention 2 chipsets)
I was going by what works with all of my older TPLink USB devices using the older chipset.

retro_bread probably has a newer TPLink device so yes ...
firmware-atheros.tcz

TL-WN722N only works if it's v1 – all the others have Realtek and not Atheros. You need firmware-atheros.tcz and wireless-KERNEL.tcz. Driver ath9k_htc is needed. After installation do modprobe ath9k_htc manually.

Mine only became functional after I downloaded htc_9271.fw and pasted to /lib/firmware. dmesg is useful – indicates missing firmware or not driver loaded. Without that, wifi-manager does not detect anything.
