Wifi TC 210 on MSI Wind

(1/4) > >>

tejjyid:
I have tried searching but can't find anything about this problem on my machine:

I'm trying to run TC 210 on an MSI Wind u100, it's fine but no wifi - which actually means not fine since i don't have ready access to an ethernet port, so no appsbrowser.

Any ideas? Seems that TC can't see the wireless adapter. Maybe there's some setup i can do?

FWIW, I have a Realtek wifi chipset.

Have you tired the stuff in the wiki?

Juanito:
If you load pci-utils/usb-utils, does lspci/lsusb show your wifi adapter?

Hi tejjyid,

Don't worry, I have the same netbook and wifi is working great with tinycore. :D

For the realtek driver you could try this extension.

Incidentally, msi wind netbooks come with different wifi modules ...
Mine is a ralink one for which you can try this extension if the realtek driver is not the right one.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/2.x/tcz/rt2860.tcz

You might need to download this using another distro if you have no internet connection and copy the files over to your tce/optional dir.

Also, the fn+f11 keys work on my netbook in tinycore, so make sure wifi is turned on before trying to connect. Spent 2 hours knocking my head against the wall ....

Thanks all, will get working on it. New to X-ville, so a bit slow.

Can I mount my device hard drives (the Windows one) once TC is loaded? That makes transferring the driver file pretty easy.
