For the wireless:

Install wireless-2.6.29.1-tinycore.tczm and wireless_tools.tcz, then have a look at this thread:

ipw2200 kernel module is included in tinycore wireless extensions so all you need to do is to put your firmware files inside /lib/firmware and add those files to backup list (/opt/.filetool.lst)

you can get your firmware here
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php (http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php)

for the video drivers see linux drivers readme

and my post about it
