Title: Missing wireless-kernal.tcz file
Post by: sicht on June 16, 2021, 06:19:09 AM

While doing a manual install on a raspberry pi zero w the wifi.tcz has the following dependencies.
wifi.tcz
   wireless_tools.tcz
      wireless-KERNEL.tcz
   wpa_supplicant.tcz
      libnl.tcz
      openssl.tcz
      readline.tcz

wireless-KERNAL.tcz does not exist in Index of /tinycorelinux/12.x/armv6/tcz/
Does it reside somewhere else?

Are you aware the "KERNEL" will be replaced by the name of the kernel?

Something like wireless-5.10.42-piCore-v8.tcz.

Hi sicht
Run the following command on your pi:

Code: [Select]

echo "wireless-`uname -r`.tcz"That will tell you what you need to download.
Those 2 tiny  `  characters in the command are backticks, not single quote marks or apostrophes.
The backtick should be on the upper left corner of your keyboard on the  ~  hey.

Thanks, I was not aware that KERNAL  would be replaced. I have to assume that a BOGUS.tcz file is just a placeholder

Thanks for the missing file tip as well! Endless things to learn

The echo "wireless- `uname -r`.tcz" command returned
wireless-5.10.16-piCore.tcz
The version in the repository is wireless-5.4.51-piCore.tcz
I'm at a loss again

It looks like you have 13.x installed - what does the command “version” give?

I did start with version 13. Would good advice be to go and start with verison 12?

Since I am working out of the version 12 repository it would make sense to stick with version 12.

From the result you got from “uname -m”, it looks like you installed 13.x - if this is confirmed by “version”, you need to use the 13.x repo.

Thanks again. I was using the web linked pages. I didn't see the 13 repo on the website, but I am there now. Thanks again
