Thanks.  I can't seem to find any "firmware-*-tinycore.tcz" extensions, but I looked at the file list for "firmware-iwlwifi.tcz" and it puts almost everything into "/usr/local/lib/firmware."  It's helpful to see that directory structure.  I assume that installing this extension as onboot will maintain an automatically persistent "/usr/local/lib/firmware" directory, but then, how would one keep the manually created b43 firmware from disappearing from that directory at shutdown?



--- Quote ---To compile, you just need to use the appbrowser to download/install compiletc - this will get all of the required extensions for you.

Thanks.  That sounds easy!



--- Quote ---You can create /lib/firmware, copy the firmware files to there and make your own extension out of it. /usr/local/lib/firmware would probably also work, but I didn't try this myself.

Okay.  So, if I can make an extension for the new firmware files, I would need to install it as onboot to keep it automatically persistent?

Thanks.  I understood the wild card.  I just couldn't seem to find any extensions named:  "firmware" <wild card> "tinycore.tcz".

Oh, sorry, changed name to firmware.tcz with 3.x
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/3.x/tcz/firmware.tcz.list
Also path changed from /lib/firmware to /usr/local/lib/firmware
