Can I get wifi support for TinyCorePure64-16.2.iso?

[Juanito]

As well as the wifi extensions mentioned earlier, it looks like you need the following:

http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/firmware-iwl8000.tcz.
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/firmware-iwl8000.tcz.md5.txt

Add this to your usb stick and then (the order is important):

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i firmware-iwl8000
tce-load -i wifi
sudo wifi.sh

Hi MaxFury

... Would that do?

Yes, that's the information that was needed.

So far I know you need to download and load:
firmware-iwl8000.tcz
firmware-iwl8000.tcz.md5.txt

[MaxFury]

Perhaps the easiest thing is to try the wifi extension and hope the error message tells us what hardware you have.

You need to download the following:

http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wifi.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wifi.tcz.dep
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wifi.tcz.md5.txt

..and then look at: http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wifi.tcz.tree

..and for each of the extensions listed, download the following:

http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/extension.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/extension.tcz.dep (some extensions will not have this file)
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/extension.tcz.md5.txt

Like before, copy the contents of the usb stick to your machine and, from the directory you copied them to, issue these commands:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i wifi
sudo wifi.sh (this probably will not work)
dmesg | tail -20 (the error message should hopefully identify your hardware)


Do you mean to download all those 10-20 or so files? How do I find their links?

-thx

Hi MaxFury

... Would that do?

Yes, that's the information that was needed.

So far I know you need to download and load:
firmware-iwl8000.tcz
firmware-iwl8000.tcz.md5.txt

That file got loaded OK.
But now I am not sure how to get the other files, because I don't see their links anywhere.

[Juanito]

Yes, you need those files.

From the link I gave you earlier:

Code: [Select]

wifi.tcz
   wpa_supplicant-dbus.tcz
      libnl.tcz
      dbus.tcz
         expat2.tcz
         elogind.tcz
            acl.tcz
               attr.tcz
            libcap.tcz
               attr.tcz
            util-linux.tcz
               readline.tcz
                  ncursesw.tcz
               udev-lib.tcz
            linux-pam.tcz
         libX11.tcz
            libxcb.tcz
               libXau.tcz
               libXdmcp.tcz
      openssl.tcz
      readline.tcz
         ncursesw.tcz
      wireless_tools.tcz
         wireless-6.12.11-tinycore64.tcz
         libiw.tcz:
..as an example, you need:

http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wpa_supplicant-dbus.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wpa_supplicant-dbus.tcz.dep
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wpa_supplicant-dbus.tcz.md5.txt

..then do the same kind of thing for libnl.tcz, etc

[MaxFury]

I think I can't tether my iphone to the usb port, because my cell phone plan prohibit tethering.

[MaxFury]

Yes, you need those files.

From the link I gave you earlier:

Code: [Select]

wifi.tcz
   wpa_supplicant-dbus.tcz
      libnl.tcz
      dbus.tcz

      wireless_tools.tcz

http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wpa_supplicant-dbus.tcz.md5.txt

..then do the same kind of thing for libnl.tcz, etc

oh I need to manually add the file names to the folder link. I see

[MaxFury]

As well as the wifi extensions mentioned earlier, it looks like you need the following:

http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/firmware-iwl8000.tcz.
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/firmware-iwl8000.tcz.md5.txt

Add this to your usb stick and then (the order is important):

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i firmware-iwl8000
tce-load -i wifi
sudo wifi.sh

This by itself says "No wifi device found!"
Gonna try the first post

[Juanito]

As said, you need all of the wifi extensions and the firmware extension.

[MaxFury]

First you will need to determine what wifi hardware you have. Download the following:

http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/libpci.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/libpci.tcz.md5.txt
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/pciutils.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/pciutils.tcz.dep
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/pciutils.tcz.md5.txt
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/hwdata.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/hwdata.tcz.md5.txt
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/libusb.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/libusb.tcz.dep
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/libusb.tcz.md5.txt
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/udev-lib.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/udev-lib.tcz.md5.txt
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/usbutils.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/usbutils.tcz.dep
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/usbutils.tcz.md5.txt

Copy them to a usb stick and then from the usb stick to your netbook.

From the directory you copied them to enter these commands:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i pciutils usbutils
lspci
lsusb
..and report back with the wifi details shown by the lspci or lsusb commands

Ok, I am getting some good readings, but I cant photograh the screen as the texts are too fine.
Is there a way to get a screenshot tool of some sort so I can screenshot the output?

-thanks

[MaxFury]

As said, you need all of the wifi extensions and the firmware extension.

uh, ok.
When I use this linke http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wifi.tcz.dep
to download the file, it just says "wpa_supplicant-dbus.tcz" in the webpage it retrieves.
Are tehg .dep files something I need? If so, how do I download them?  and the do I need the md5 txts?

-thanks

[Juanito]

Right-click on the desktop blue background then choose SystemTools ScreenShot

The screenshot will be stored as /home/tc/screenshot_*.png

[Juanito]

uh, ok.

The contents of http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wifi.tcz.dep should be wpa_supplicant-dbus.tcz

Yes, the *dep files are needed and yes the *md5.txt files are needed.

[MaxFury]

Got it!

[MaxFury]

I get it, but if I try put this link into the browser, the browser prints that string.
