Hi Onktebong
Correction to reply #2, it should be:

Install  squashfs-tools.tcz.
Then:

--- Code: ---mkdir -p pkg/usr/local/lib/firmware/broadcom/b43/
cp ucode13.fw pkg/usr/local/lib/firmware/broadcom/b43/
mksquashfs pkg ucode13.tcz -noappend
--- End code ---

Copy  ucode13.tcz  to your  tce/optional/  directory.
Place  ucode13.tcz  on the first line of your  tce/onboot.lst  file.

--- Code: ---firmware-broadcom_bcm43xx.tcz
firmware-broadcom_bnx2.tcz
firmware-broadcom_bnx2x.tcz
--- End code ---

You can see the list here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86/tcz/

So i think firmware-broadcom_bcm43xx.tcz whould be first candidate. :)

I've installed firmware-broadcom_bcm43xx.tcz through Apps.
Now what do I do?

Installed squashfs-tools.tcz
Ran mkdir -p pkg/usr/local/lib/firmware/broadcom/b43
Then cp ucode13.fw pkg/usr/local/lib/firmware/broadcom/b43
Error message:

--- Code: ---cp: can't stat 'ucode13.fw': No such file or directory
--- End code ---
So what can I do now?

Hi Onktebong
You need to download the firmware file before you can copy it somewhere:

--- Code: ---wget https://github.com/OpenELEC/wlan-firmware/raw/refs/heads/master/firmware/b43/ucode13.fw
mkdir -p pkg/usr/local/lib/firmware/broadcom/b43/
cp ucode13.fw pkg/usr/local/lib/firmware/broadcom/b43/
mksquashfs pkg ucode13.tcz -noappend
--- End code ---

Then:
Copy  ucode13.tcz  to your  tce/optional/  directory.
Place  ucode13.tcz  on the first line of your  tce/onboot.lst  file.

It should now find the firmware next time you reboot.
