I found a post saying you might need to run a script wlan0up, but when I run that I get a string of "Can't insert ieee8211_crypt-rtl.ko......Unknown symbol in module or unknown parameter"
The instructions in the info of the extension are rather misleading and could never work "as is" (which is easily proven by a look at content of the script), took me a while to figure it out...
Try following:
cd /local/lib/modules/2.6.29.1-tinycore/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
sudo ./wlan0up
you could then check with lsmod if all 6 modules have been loaded
My wireless adapter is eth0.
run 'ifconfig -a' and see wha tshows up.
That's driver dependent.
With rtl8187se_coffee.tcz if name is wlanN by default.
From output of modinfo:
parm: devname: Net interface name, wlan%d=default
