Hey people , I have a problem with my wifi card (Qualcomm Atheros QCA 95665/ AR9565 [168c:0036] ) , the drivers are not built in the xiaopan os and I need to install them The thing is that when I download the drivers , put them in a usb , mount it on xiaopan , (compat-wireless-3.6.6-1-snpc.tar.bz2) and extract them , its a folder , not a tcz , I tried with ./scripts/driver-select ath9k but i gave me some errors I saw the other post , the one of mister penguin , but he installs them on ubuntu , those commands dont work on tiny core What do I need to do??? Oh and im running xiao on a live cd , and I have windows 8 Thanks , I consider my self good with computers , so feel free to be specific
Yeah the thing is that I dont have a wired conection Can i download it with windows , save it on a usb and then install it on the live cd?
You probably could but you need to download all the dependencies also. What version xiaopan you using i've posted a few compat-wireless tcz here ??
I am using the lastest , 0.4.7.2 yeah I saw one compat-wireless-3.2.5-1.tcz but it doesn't work without the dependencies right? Thanks
Should work i think i built it for 0.4.7.2 can't remember if you boot from cd you will have to remaster the iso or load it from usb Code: Select All tce-load -i "path and name of tcz" If you boot from usb just add it to your onboot.lst and your optional folder
Can you do one tcz with the lastest version please? I dont know if the driver I need is in that version , I red somewhere that its on 3.6 and up (compat-wireless) Right now I dont have an usb to boot with But I can buy another cd , its ok How do I remaster the iso? With ulta iso? Where should I put the file? Can i just mount an sd card with the file?? Instead of puting it on the iso
The problem with using a later version of compat is that it breaks some stuff ie we get the channel -1 issue. I always find the best way to develop build drivers etc is make a usb stick with persistence use tc-install to build a bootable drive with persistence. That way you could load it via virtualbox from within windows and access your internet "no need for wired connection vm shares your internet and no need to buy more cd's and all your changers are saved when you backup" I could build it but i would have to find a xiaopan 0.4.7.2 at the moment i'm running 0.5.3.1. You could try remastering iso or you can mount your sdcard from xiopan and load it from there,Just cd to the folder and tce-load -i There is a version 5 xiaopan somewhere on the site you could try "if you cant find it look on my profile page i think theres a dropbox link for it" Also when you try the compat driver's check dmesg for error's you might have to find the firmware for it as it's not a card i've tested you may have to find and load your firmware. Here is a later compat version compat-wireless-3.9-rc4-2-su.tcz Ps is this card internal or usb as we mainly support usb because internal are a pain??
Ok, I understand , I will download the 0.5 version Yes i will make a 0.5 live cd without touching the iso , and mount the file with my sd The thing is that it is an internal card:/ But I am pretty sure that those drivers work ... look for ar9565 with the model id 168 0036
We don`t really support internal cards as there a pain in the arse under tiny core dual cards with bluetooth are even worse.
It's not the best card for linux you may have better luck with a newer kernel, latest kernel does seem to be better with internal cards.
