I am installing Kwort Linux for the first time (based on CRUX, same install process) and I managed to jumble through the instructions and get it running. However, I am unsure how to get the wifi to work. I tried using
#wpa_passphrase ESSID uber_secret_key|sed '/#psk=/d' > /etc/wifi.conf
What wireless chipset do you have? (The command lspci in a terminal should report that information. Post the relevant output here, being sure to surround it with code tags, which become available when you you click the "Go Advanced" button at the bottom of the "Reply" window.)
Command not found... all I can tell you is that the laptop is an Acer C720 with a dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN adapter capable of up to 300 Mbps chipset.
If you are a chromebook user. Like I am posting from a Acer C710.

while booted into ChromeOS. Put this in you address bar in your browser and then scroll down to the appropiate section to gather the info for this thread.
I don't have chromeos installed, I took it out and installed SeaBIOS. It's a celeron dual core, not an i3 processor. It seems I did not install lspci when I installed the OS.

Hi...
Welcome to the forum
Normally, pciutils are included with the OS automatically. It's not a package you have to install yourself manually. However, we're going to need this information to be able to help you futher. If Kwort doesn't have a repository or other means to install this package, you can try burning an .iso (or make a copy bootable from a flash drive,) of Puppy Linux Tahr 6.0.2 here and run it live. Once it's up and running, you can open its terminal (rxvt, I think,) and copy and paste this command...
Code:
lspci -nnk | grep -i net -A2
and paste the results in your next post. Instructions on how you copy and paste with this terminal can be found here.
Kind of a roundabout way of getting this information but it might work.
EDIT: I don't know what the problem is but the link above isn't working right. Just go to the page here...
Haha thanks. I've used linux before so I know how to do this, I am just surprised that I can't get lspci to work. I'm reinstalling elementary on it as I had before, and I'm going to start over. Once I get this fresh install I'll post back here with lspci.
I installed KWORT yesterday and it was a fairly painless experience. It actually has an /etc/inittab file! Anyway, the plan is to use it as a LFS build host (although I haven't checked it for build requirements yet). Anyway, it has Openbox, Chrome, and not much more installed, but it is supposed to be compatible with the CRUX repositories. I'll post back if I have any luck!
