Use bootcodes blackist=b43 blacklist=bcma blacklist=ssb

It was build as a 32bit driver, if it works, then you're using 32bit

Hi juanito,

Thanks for the information. I will use the blacklist cheatcodes.

Regarding, the 64bit vs 32 bit. Interesting, perhaps the specs are misleading. See below. I will try using 32 bit versions of everything.
Using 64bit modules, the WL driver does not work acceptably. After blacklisting and modprobing as described earlier. I can find wireless networks. When I attempt to log onto my network, the pc hangs. Only recourse is to re-boot.

I have had better success using the 64bit version of Porteus. Sometimes it works perfectly. Sometimes hangs as above.

No problems using Windows 7, although I, obviously, prefer not to.

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards,

sci-fi

..there are two choices with tinycore:

tinycore/microcore: uses 32bit everything
microcore64: uses 32/64bit kernel, 64bit kernel modules and 32bit everything else.

The wl extension was compiled to use with tinycore/microcore, not microcore64.

Thanks, juanito.

Everything is working when I use my own script to connect using wpa. I have trouble with wicd carried over from tc 3.8.4. Seems to connect but then hangs. If/when wicd is available on 4.x, I will try again.

Thanks again for the help. Much appreciated.

Juanito:
You could use the wifi.tcz extension in the meantime?
