Raspberry Pi / Raspberry Pi 2 Wifi (nl80211, cheap dongle)

« Last post by bradwiggo on May 19, 2025, 04:05:33 PM »

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 with a cheap USB WiFi dongle. Using `wifi.sh` says no wifi devices found, and `iw wlan0` says `nl80211 not found.`

Does anybody know how I can load the driver for my wifi chip. I tried all the "firmware-xxx" packages.

Running piCore 15

Changing font fixed it (please see).

Thank you so much you all!

A big improvement, but still not totally fixed (please see).

And the terminal characters are overlapping, can I install something else?


According to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rxvt there is a "unicode" version of rxvt called urxvt. I was convinced to be using that one.

Hi t18

No way, please se attached image.

So the systems built in printf can not handle unicode.

But the coreutils did attempt to print a unicode character.

I think the issue now is the terminal.

Try installing gnome-terminal.tcz.

If I use gnome-terminal and choose, for example, dejavu sans as the font then this:

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/bin/printf "\u20AC\n"
..returns the euro symbol

Rich and Juanito,

Thank you both for fixing the issue. TinyCore 16 64 bit kernel and 32 bit user space is working now.

I appreciate your knowledge, effort, and responsiveness.

regards,

Hi t18

... And it seem that printf is not working: ...

It's possible the shell printf can not handle unicode.

Try  /usr/bin/printf

Or install  coreutils  and try  /usr/local/bin/printf

Yes, getlocale.sh run properly, mylocale.tcz is onboot and I've set LANG in the /etc/sysconfig/language.

Pease see the attached image.


And it seem that printf is not working:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:$ printf "\u0054\n"
\u0054
