Tiny Core Netbooks / Re: Can I get wifi support for TinyCorePure64-16.2.iso?

« Last post by Rich on January 17, 2026, 01:18:59 PM »

Hi MaxFury

What should I do?

wifi.sh creates a file in your home directory called wifi.db.
If you run:

Code: [Select]

sudo wifi.sh -ait automatically connects to the first entry in that file
instead of scanning.

The format of the file is:

Code: [Select]

Linksys00216 Password WPA
NETGEAR53 Password WPASo if you know the name of the access point, you can
create that file. The gaps between access point,Password. and
WPA are tabs, not blank spaces. Replace Password with your
password.

Hi MaxFury
The error message:

Code: [Select]

print_scanning_info: Allocation failedis occurring when wifi.sh runs:

Code: [Select]

iwlist "$WIFI" scanning
It looks like it's a bug in iwlist:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15363

wireless_tools might need to be updated.

It's so weird, the same thing that boot through the USB is now in the mmc right?
I wonder if I could have something different with the tc-install app.

When I go into my BIOS screen, it shows it doesn't see a bootable thing.
Also the Wifi setup is faulty, it takes many reboots to get connected.

Hi MaxFury
extlinux is the boot loader.
You should be able to boot from the hard drive now.

I have run the installer, but it doesn't appear to have install a boot loader yet.
How do I proceed? please see image.
