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-<kernel_version>.sce
extensions, example:
  wireless.sce
  wireless.sce.md5.txt
  wireless-3.16.6-tinycore.sce
  wireless-3.16.6-tinycore.sce.md5.txt

Download location:
  http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/sce/<dCore-version>/

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-<kernel_version>-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
  
The wifi.sh script will normally take care of essid and passphrase needed
for connections.  (sudo wifi.sh)  But if you decide not to use it, the
following can be performed instead:
  
Use the wpa_passphrase utility to generate the content needed to be placed
inside the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file:

wpa_passphrase essid passphrase  <-- substitute your actual values!

Place the contents generated by the wpa_passphrase utility into your
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file.

The contents should look something similar to this:

  network={
    ssid="YOUR_ESSID"
    #psk="YOUR_PASSWORD"
	psk=D1149D3E8ECD26F3F1B200
  }

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
