General TC > Tiny Core Netbooks
eeePC 1000
MikeLockmoore:
I tried to compile the atl1e Ethernet driver module from source, but the source tarball was targeted to kernel 2.6.25 and the make process was looking specifically for things in that kernel's source tree, so it did not succeed with the TC 1.4.2 kernel 2.6.26 headers. I may be able to build it without make (or my own simplified makefile) with some effort, but first I am going to try to load a copy of the binary atl1e.ko module from the default Xandros installation (kernel 2.6.21). The kernel version is different enough that this might not work, but I figure it's worth a try. I'll report back.

The atl1e.ko file borrowed from Xandros does not load. :-\ The kernel version is too different, I think.
I loaded the Linux headers .tce (I though I had done that before... maybe it was before I got TCEs to "stick") and was subsequently able to compile the atl1 driver, but it produced a module named atl1.ko instead of atl1e.ko. I can insmod the module file, but I don't get any standard shell output or any new messages in dmesg, and I don't have any new network devices showing up... so either I'm forgetting some other step or I need to build this in a different way.

Posting this from my work eeePC 1000, running TC 2.4rc4! I am even using WiFi at home! I had to build the ralink rt2680 kernel module and set up init scripts so it will find the expected file in /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/. The 2.4 version seems to work pretty well with flwm on this eeePC.

Hi Mike,
Is there any possibility of you making a tcz extension containing ethernet (atl1) and wifi (ralink rt2680) modules? This would allow internet access for the ASUS 1000, 1000H and 901. There maybe other netbooks that could use it too, MSI Wind? Acer Aspire One?
regards,
Rod

Atl1, atl1e are in the base in TC 2.x. The info above about them considered TC 1.x.
