How to get wireless working when no other network access is available. If you already have wired net access on your A10 device then skip to notes below! Before proceeding it is assumed that you have successfully completed Steps 1 - 4 of the README.txt. Check that your a10 machine can boot from your SD card and that your tce directory is properly setup. Since your machine has no network access, we will describe how to use an x86 Tiny Core machine to download specific extensions needed to activate 8192 wireless 1. Mount your SD card on x86 Tiny Core and open an xterm. 2. On your x86 machine at the command prompt perform the following: $ cd /mnt/mountpoint_of_SD/tce/sce $ wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/armv7/sce/8192cu.sce $ wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/armv7/sce/wireless.sce 3. Remove the SD card by moving off the card and unmouunting $ cd $ sudo umount /mnt/mountpoint_of_SD/tce/sce ========================================================================================= 6. Insert SD card into A10 machine and boot. 7. Next load wireless module and configuration tools. $ loadsce 8192cu wireless 8. At this point you may verify the wifi device with: $ iwconfig 9. We are now ready to attempt a connection. $ sudo wifi.sh 10. Select from display list of access points and follow prompts 11. You may verify IP by: $ ifconfig ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Once wifi is operational, then to automate connection at boot perform the following: 12. Edit sceboot.lst to add the following items: $ vi /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sceboot.lst 8192cu wireless 14. Edit the bootlocal file to attempt connection at boot time (optional) $ vi /opt/bootlocal.sh /usr/local/bin/wifi.sh -a 2>&1 > /tmp/wifi.log 15. Finally be sure to backup before poweroff or reboot. $ backup $ sudo poweroff ========================================================================================== Notes: If you already have wired net access then ... 1. Load wireless as follows: $ sce-fetch -ib 8192cu $ sce-fetch -ib wifi $ sce-fetch -ib wireless-tools $ sce-fetch -ib wpasupplicant 2. At this point you may verify the wifi device with: $ iwconfig 3. We are now ready to attempt a connection. $ sudo wifi.sh 4. Select from display list of access points and follow prompts 5. You may verify IP by: $ ifconfig 6. Edit the bootlocal file to attempt connection at boot time (optional) $ vi /opt/bootlocal.sh /usr/local/bin/wifi.sh -a 2>&1 > /tmp/wifi.log 7. It is best to disable wired net so as to not interfere with wifi. Do this by adding the option nodhcp 8. Finally be sure to backup before poweroff or reboot. $ backup $ sudo poweroff If upon reboot your wifi is not up check the contents of /tmp/wifi.log You can always manually attempt connect with $ sudo wifi.sh ========================================================================================== This completes the wifi setup README. You may now proceed to continue X setup, if desired by referring to the README-X-Desktop.txt.
