it is a wifi driver:

I think it's enough to put rt73.bin in /lib/firmware and install/mount wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tczm and wireless_tools.tczl
-
how can i get rt73.bin?thks.
-
is not in the rar file?
U can check the missing file issuing
dmesg after u
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up and
iwlist wlan0 scanning
-
not in rar file.
this rar file is c code file.
-
it is in the rar file

i do it follow you,but it do not work.
"sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" command result is "ifconfig:SIOCGIFFLAGS:NO such device"
thks.
-

-
it "says" many words. but i do not know how to copy them here

Highlight the text you wish to copy with the mouse and then paste with the middle mouse button or, if you have a two-button mouse, paste by clicking both buttons at the same time.

I have posted the instructions before over here:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=2906.msg14930#msg14930
Assuming you've already unrared the file, start at step #5.
Edit: one small change...
cd to the directory you unpacked into and type:
sudo cp rt73.bin /lib/firmware

ps: my wifi device is a usb wifi device.

What USB WIFI device are you using?
To help diagnose your problem,
Install extension: usb-utils.tcz
Open a terminal and enter:
lsusb
Copy and post the results.
Then enter:
dmesg | tail -20
and post those results.

Going over the dmesg output, it appears no wireless modules are loaded.
Did you install wireless_tools.tczl ?
-
yes ,i had installed wireless_tools.tczl
-
Run the following:
lsmod > lsmod.txt
and post the lsmod.txt file.

the driver readme file says:

lsmod.txt
-
when i create a dir "build" in "/lib/modules/2.6.29-1tinycore/", make all is still error:
No rule to make target 'modules'. Stop.
can someone help me revise the makefile for tonycore?
the driver codes, you can get from the first post.
thanks.

Install - linux-headers-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tcz
-
lsmod.txt
lsmod shows nothing other than your RealTek ethernet card.
It seems your Ralink RT2070 USB device is not included in wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tczm so you will have to compile.
-
can you help me compile this driver?
there are many errors,and i do not know how to resolve them. thanks.
-
If you could post or attach the errors it would help us help you.
Some things to check:
1. compiletc, perl5 and bash extensions are loaded
2. linux-headers-2.6.29.1-tinycore extension is loaded
-
2. had been installed.
i fix one, and another one occur.
now, i try it follow you.
