README-wireless.txt Refer to the wiki if unfamiliar with the basic install and use of dCore: http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:welcome Assuming a properly set up TCE directory, see README-1st.txt, the system may require the kernel's wireless SCE. Enter the following in terminal to confirm the dCore flavour and kernel version being used: version uname -r If the dCore system does not have a wired connection to install extensions, from another system download the wireless.sce and wireless-.sce extensions, example: wireless.sce wireless-4.8.17-tinycore.sce Download location: http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce// Download from the appropriate dCore flavour: http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-jessie/ http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-trusty/ http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-stretch/ http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-zesty/ http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-wheezy/ http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-artful/ http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-xenial/ If downloading from another system, transfer these SCEs to the dCore wireless system (eg. via USB stick) and place them into dCore's SCE directory: /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sce/ Needed firmware files are included in the wireless.sce extension. The system may need ndiswrapper modules (https://wiki.debian.org/NdisWrapper): ndiswrapper-modules--tinycore.sce Example wget commands for dCore-jessie: wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-jessie/wireless.sce wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-jessie/wireless.md5.txt wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-jessie/wireless-3.16.6-tinycore.sce wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-jessie/wireless-3.16.6-tinycore.sce.md5.txt wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-jessie/ndiswrapper-modules-3.16.6-tinycore.sce wget http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/dCore-jessie/ndiswrapper-modules-3.16.6-tinycore.sce.md5.txt Once downloaded and placed into the SCE directory, load the packages, substituting with the kernel version being used, example: sce-load wireless sce-load wireless-3.16.6-tinycore sce-load ndiswrapper-modules-3.16.6-tinycore Use the usual Linux commands to set up a wireless connection. The 'iwconfig' command is from the 'wireless-tools' package: sce-import -o wireless-tools sce-load wireless-tools Then create a file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to contain: network={ ssid="YOUR_ESSID" psk="YOUR_PASSWORD" } Add the following to /opt/boolocal.sh or give these commands after boot: wpa_supplicant -iwlan0 -Dwext -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf udhcpc -i wlan0 The udhcpc command assumes dhcp is the desired way to get an address. Add the following to /opt/.filetool.lst for backup: etc/wpa_supplicant.conf opt/bootlocal.sh Is is beneficial to add all required wireless extensions to: /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sceboot.lst Run backup and reboot system for testing: backup sudo reboot
