Pi Zero 2W WiFi with piCore 32-bit

[oso2k]

I'm struggling to get wifi working on my Zero 2W using piCore 32-bit/armhf.  I was able to get it working on a Zero W with the same SD card.  I'm looking to build some private TCZs using the Zero 2W for the Zero W.  I'm using the following packages

firmware-rpi-wifi.pkg
readline.pkg
wifi.pkg
libnl.pkg
wireless_tools.pkg
ncurses.pkg
wireless-6.12.25-piCore.pkg
ntp.pkg
wpa_supplicant.pkg

I'm getting the 'No wifi devices found!' message from 'wifi.sh'.  My `dmesg` output is attached.

Hi oso2k

I don't see see these in your list:
regdb.tcz
openssl.tcz
ca-certificates.tcz

Oh....good catch. I've been piecing together my automation script from two sources and must have missed a couple steps in my script that I performed manually.  openssl & ca-certs I recognize.  regdb is new to me but makes sense.  Thanks.

Hmm.  I'm still having issues.  I don't see the device being recognized in `dmesg` nor do I see the module loaded in `lsmod`.

FWIW, I'm using these two guides

Hi oso2k

Code: [Select]

/dev/loop1 on /tmp/tcloop/openssh type squashfs (ro,relatime,errors=continue)
/dev/loop0 on /tmp/tcloop/openssl type squashfs (ro,relatime,errors=continue)
/dev/loop2 on /tmp/tcloop/ca-certificates type squashfs (ro,relatime,errors=continue)
/dev/loop3 on /tmp/tcloop/firmware-rpi-wifi type squashfs (ro,relatime,errors=continue)
/dev/loop4 on /tmp/tcloop/wifi type squashfs (ro,relatime,errors=continue)Most of the extensions you listed are not even installed. Did you remember to download
the  .tcz.dep  files for extensions that have them? How about the  .tcz.md5.txt  files?

Thanks for all the great help!
