Team Tiny Core is pleased to announce the availability of piCore-5.2.1rc2:
http://tinycorelinux.net/5.x/armv6/release_candidates/
Change log for 5.2.1rc2:
* added more protection of TC scripts against bad extensions
* added kernel modules required by USB 3G adapters
Change log for 5.2.1rc1:
* kernel updated to 3.13.6
* added kernel modules required to connect WiFi AP with SHA encryption
* added ntpserver=<serveraddress> boot option to define ntp server (default pool.ntp.org)
* added /etc/sysconfig/ntpserver config file to define ntp server address
* fixed issued that modules were not found in /usr/local/lib
* USB CLASS modules are not built into the kernel but real modules part of base
Please note, alsa-modules-3.13.6-piCore+.tcz has no startup script to avoid conflicts with DACS, necessary modules must be loaded by user, including on-chip sound device.
Images with preinstalled SSH for headless operation and with GUI also available.

Hi Béla,
I am testing this release candidate, but I encounter the same problem as with rc1.
I cannot connect to WiFi. Your previous reaction was:
Thanks for testing. dmesg output after trying and failing connect welcome as well as lsmod. In my case with 5.2 the problem comes when 802.11n mode and SHA encryption used, TKIP was OK. It is fixed adding two crypto module to rc1 base. In dmesg adapter was authenticated and immediately deautenthicated. Now it works fine here. Let's see your adapter.
So, here is the last part of the dmesg output:

As far as I remember it was reported to work by Paul_123
In dmesg I do not see firmware download attempt. Was it OK with other version? If so send dmesg and lsmod
-
OK, I did some more testing. I cannot connect with the wifi.sh script from wifi.tcz, but I can connect with my own script. I will compare the scripts some more. It might be caused by something in the wpa_supplicant.conf file.

Hi bmarkus
I have tested 5.2.1rc2 with my two wifi adaptors:
The Ralink is working fine:
[ 26.036431] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00_set_rt: Info - RT chipset 5390, rev 0502 detected

And it connects fine - but there are some more info during the connection as compared to previous versions:

I made some progress. It has something to do with the driver that is used by wpa_supplicant.
When executing the wpa_supplicant command without specifying a driver (like wifi.sh from wifi.tcz does), it will use "nl80211". And that fails:
tc@box:~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d

So there must be something wrong with the nl80211 driver?
-
Thanks for testing guys. Few days ago wpa_supplicat was updated. It works here fine, did not see any change. Will look around.
-
It looks like driver do not suports the nl80211 interface, only the older wext. What we can do is to make driver configurable in wifi.sh default to wext.
-
Yeah, sounds like a good idea. Shall I develop/test/propose the change?
-
I will make it and you can test
-
Allright, just tell me when I can start testing.

As far as I remember it was reported to work by Paul_123
In dmesg I do not see firmware download attempt. Was it OK with other version? If so send dmesg and lsmod
yes it did work in 5.2, so something changed in 5.2.1
There is no firmware file for rtl8192cu, it is all compiled in the module.
i can confirm the same issue, but it doesn't look like the driver changed.
But it doesn't look like the driver recommends using nl80211Here is the sample wpa script in the driver from 3.13.6
if [ "`which iwconfig`" = "" ] ; then
echo "WARNING:Wireless tool not exist!"
echo " Please install it!"
exit
else
if [ `uname -r | cut -d. -f2` -eq 4 ]; then
wpa_supplicant -D ipw -c wpa1.conf -i wlan0
else
if [ `iwconfig -v |awk '{print $4}' | head -n 1` -lt 18 ] ; then
wpa_supplicant -D ipw -c wpa1.conf -i wlan0
else
wpa_supplicant -D wext -c wpa1.conf -i wlan0

Updated wifi.tcz in repo. Now wpa_supplicant driver configured in /etc/sysconfig/wifi-wpadrv default to wext.
Please try.

Hi bmarkus
Thanks, you fixed it, now both my Ralink and Realtek wifi adaptors are working perfectly.

Hi bmarkus
There are quite a few errors during booting (not shown in dmesg) is there another log available, so that I can read them?

Steen
You can try to enable syslog with syslog boot option. However depending on error they may be not logged. pause boot option can be useful to see them.

Expect these messages, do you experience any issue using the system?

No, I have almost ported piCorePlayer to the new version and wifi and ALSA is working really good - no issues what so ever.

Yes, Gerrelt gets the same results too! Thank you for the change Béla! 8)
Everything is working fine on this release now.
Can I make one more suggestion for the wifi.sh change?
The script continuus, even when the wpa_supplicant command fails.
Could we change this line:
system("wpa_supplicant -i " d " -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B -D $WPADRV >/dev/null 2>&1")
To:
if (system("wpa_supplicant -i " d " -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B -D $WPADRV >/dev/null 2>&1") != 0) {
print "\n\nERROR: Could not start wpa_suppicant" > "/dev/stderr"
exit 1
}
That way the script will exit with an error in case the wpa_supplicant command fails.
Greetings,
Gerrelt.

Gerrelt
thanks, I will apply your change.

I've now installed piCore 5.2.1rc2 on 4 Raspberries, using three different WiFi adapters. They are all working without problems.
