then i make install:

Your old wireless subsystem modules were left intact:

modprobe: not supported
make: *** [uninstall] Error 1

modprobe in TC is busybox modprobe, that may be your problem.

have you tried to use the wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore or wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore_mod extensions?

but changed to 2.5 ,build it all ok.
the problem only with 2.6.

2.6 changelog:

* Busybox lsmod, insmod, rmmod, modprobe replace GNU versions.

I am about to submit a module-init-tools extension for those who need the full power versions.  Depmod in TC is in base and is a special build to allow /usr/local kernel modules, but all the other utilities will be in the extension.

It's uploaded, so all should be well.

thanks!
