it is a wifi driver:

http://www.tenda.com.cn/uploadfile/downloads/uploadfile/200809/20080909023842277.rar

[jls]

I think it's enough to put rt73.bin in /lib/firmware and install/mount wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tczm and wireless_tools.tczl

[Chixiran]

how can i get rt73.bin?thks.

[jls]

U can check the missing file issuing

Code: [Select]

dmesg after u

Code: [Select]

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and

Code: [Select]

iwlist wlan0 scanning

[Chixiran]

this rar file is c code file.

[jls]

Highlight the text you wish to copy with the mouse and then paste with the middle mouse button or, if you have a two-button mouse, paste by clicking both buttons at the same time.

I have posted the instructions before over here:

Assuming you've already unrared the file, start at step #5.

Edit: one small change...

cd to the directory you unpacked into and type:

sudo cp rt73.bin  /lib/firmware

i do it follow you. but "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" result is  "ifconfig:SIOCGIFFLAGS:No such device",

ps: my wifi device is a usb wifi device.

What USB WIFI device are you using?

To help diagnose your problem,

Install extension: usb-utils.tcz

Open a terminal and enter:

lsusb

Copy and post the results.

Then enter:

dmesg | tail -20

and post those results.

Going over the dmesg output, it appears no wireless modules are loaded.

Did you install wireless_tools.tczl ?
