I'm pretty sure Ubuntu and Puppy are using the open source driver that can be found on google code.
I downloaded and un-tarred the driver. It comes with a script that uses make, to compile the driver.
the error messages I get are
--- Code: ---*** No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop.
*** [modules] Error 2
cp: cannot stat Module.symvers': no such file or directory
--- End code ---
Oh, am i supposed to also have the whole tinycore kernel source? I'm confused
Juanito:
If you search the forum, there are several threads on compiling wifi modules.
You might be able to compile the module using the linux-headers-2.6.29.1-tinycore extension and if this doesn't work, you could try with the full kernel source.
julianb:
success!!! I compiled the driver and it is useable.
used root shell.
Made sure compiletc was installed, as well as bash and perl5. had linux-headers-2.6.29.1-tinycore installed. also had wireless_tools, and wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore_mod and wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore.
also had to run the wlan0up script that was included as part of the driver tarball.
after all that, success when running:
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid MYROUTER key MYKEY
sudo udhcpc -i wlan0
yes!

Great - you don't need both of these, just one or the other, I believe.

Here's what I've seen with these so far:
If you install wireless_tools, wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore is installed by default.
I tried using wireless_tools with wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore_mod and wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore, it worked. I tried using wireless_tools with wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore_mod but not wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore and it did not work.
(Machine i tried that on was eee pc 901 with atheros wireless-network-card.)
