This document is about setting up WiFi on the dCore variant (2015-06-01 release) of TinyCoreLinux (TCL), running on a Mini-X. Really, it's just paraphrasing http://tinycorelinux.net/dCore/armv7/Allwinner-A10/README-wifi.txt. This document isn't a howto - it's just a set of notes for myself. Consider yourself lucky if it is helpful to you.

NOTE: Wherever these instructions say "sdX", replace with the correct device for your uSD card.

Download files to uSD

Insert the micro-SD (uSD) card from Mini-X in your favourite linux machine. Of course, this uSD has already had dCore installed on it.
