I have a (tiny
) WLAN adapter that does not work yet with the standard kernel, as it`s open source driver is in staging.
With ndiswrapper basically it runs okay. The info file for ndiswrapper mentions a way to get it running without perl5, which ndiswrapper happens to depend on.
What would be the recommended way to do this? I think I have to alter ndiswrapper`s dep file? Cancel then uninstall the perl5 dependency and adding ndiswrapper as dependency to a new extension, containing /etc/ndiswrapper/somechipsetdriver/ and a startup script?
Will the ndiswrapper dep file be screwed up (overwritten by a new one) when an extension update occurs?
Is it considered a clean way (from the Tiny Core point of view) to store ndiswrapper driver directories somewhere in /opt/ (referred to by symlink from /etc/) instead of /etc/ndiswrapper/ ? This would keep the driver files themselves out of RAM when using a persistent /opt/ - at least I suppose.
