==== This section is currently under construction ==== ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a list of Wifi devices known to function with Core via community built device drivers (+ firmware). The list is designed to help find supported Wifi devices, and in determining which module extensions will be required to function with Core. The list of devices relies on community input. If you have a functioning Wifi device supported by Core and it's extensions please add the required information to be included in this wiki list.\\ [[http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,12910.0.html]] === Devices by Interface === ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[#USB]]\\ [[#PCI]]\\ [[#PCMCIA]]\\ [[#UNSUPPORTED DEVICES]] === USB === ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ^ Supported External Wireless USB Adapter ^^^^^^^^^ ^ Wireless NIC\\ Chip((To find chip Use lsusb from command line)) ^ USB ID((To find Hardware ID Use lsusb from command line)) ^ OEM & Model\\ as tested((Simply the Manufacturer and Model # of the adapter using the chip )) ^ HW rev ^ Interface ^ Features ^ Tested with kernel ^ Connection manager as tested &\\ Required Extensions [[#(1)]]((To find driver in use by the device Use " dmesg " from command line and search near the end for the driver and firmware in use )) ^ Notes | ^ Realtek Semiconductor\\ RTL8188SU | 0dba:8171 |Amped\\ UA150C | | USB 2.0 |802.11 b/g/n\\ 2.4GHz\\ WPA/WPA2 | 3.0.21-tinycore |wifi.tcz\\ --------------------- \\ wl-rtl8712u-3.0.21-tinycore.tcz (r8712u)\\ firmware.tcz (rtlwifi/rtl8712u.bin) | ^ Realtek Semiconductor\\ RTL8191SU | 0dba:8172 |Patriot\\ PCBOWAU2-N | -
