- How to get wireless working when no other network access is available.
- If you already have net access on your GK802 device then skip to notes below!
- Before proceeding it is assumed that you have successfully completed README-1st.txt. Check that your 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/5.x/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 your machine and boot.
- 7. Next load wireless tools.
- $ loadsce 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 item:
- $ vi /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/sceboot.lst
- 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
- ==========================================================================================
- This completes the wifi setup README. You may now proceed to continue X setup, if desired by referring to the README-X-Desktop.txt.
