General TC > Tiny Core Netbooks
Dell Mini 9
Juanito:
In order to use the b43 module, you'll need the firmware. In order to use the wl module, you'll need to boot with "blacklist=ssb blacklist=b43"

Thanks for the info! I guess I'll use the wl module with those "prohibitive" boot codes.
By the way, I just remembered that the resolution was correct when I booted a virgin version of TC from a USB thumb drive. However, when I checked appsaudit, it showed all of the onboot and ondemand extensions in my internal drive. Was the virgin USB TC tapping into the 915resolution on my Mini 9's SSD?
h-munster:
Okay. I used the "blacklist=ssb blacklist=b43" boot codes, and the wireless card seems to be recognized. However, when I try to use "iwlist scan", I get: "eth1 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument". The same message appears after "iwlist scanning". Not sure what I am doing wrong.
Also, I forgot that I can only boot into the console, so I have to "startx" to get Xvesa.
Here is the contents of my /grub/menu.lst
--- Code: ---default 0

Thanks!
Juanito:
Are the wireless_tools and wireless-2.6.33.3-tinycore extensions loaded?
Can you connect to your router with:
--- Code: ---$ sudo iwconfig eth1 essid "essid"
$ sudo iwconfig eth1 key restricted 12:34:56:78:9A:BC:DE:F0:12:34:56:78:9A
$ sudo udhcpc -b -i eth1
--- End code ---
..or similar (this example is for wep)?
tinypoodle:
--- Quote --- "eth1 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument". The same message appears after "iwlist scanning".
--- End quote ---
The same message would appear after "iwlist s" as well :P
If eth1 is the wireless interface then this output indicates that extensions are loaded, but might need
--- Code: ---sudo ifconfig eth1 up
--- End code ---
and/or
--- Code: ---sudo iwconfig eth1 mode managed
--- End code ---
first, depending on particular driver.
