The 8192cu driver that you installed is for a different USB device and has nothing to do with your system. The rtl8187se PET attached below is SPECIFICALLY for Tahrpup 605 PAE k3.14.56. It will probably require a reboot. Hi Many thanks. I have installed the pet and can now see the wlan interface. H...

Run the command: lspci -nnk Identify the vendor:product ID codes for the Network Controller, like [10ec:8199]. Is a driver being loaded for it? Hi I have been away so have not had chance to post a reply. I don't know how to screengrab the text but yes, the RTL8187SE Wireless LAN controller appears ...

Hi I have installed Tahrpup but my wireless card is not detected. Strangely I started up with an old Puppy disk and it detected the wireless and said it was using the R8180 driver? However, booting wit PuppyTahr, it says, after lspce, (I can't screen grab the entire text): Network Controller: Realte...

Apologies, I was engaged with peterw who has been very helpful to me. I didn't realise I had to start a new thread.

Hi peterw

Nope, tried loading both modules but it still refuses to see the wifi aspect - odd as I know it shows up in Mint and when doing lspci... Baffled now, perhaps I will just have to cable it?

Hi Peterw

Thanks for the help - I have loaded that module a couple of times and no joy, I will try again.

Interestingly, I have made it dual boot with Mint and Puppy, and the wireless works fine on Mint. I'm not sure why either version of Puppy won't see it...

Hi kylerickards If no wlan (or it might be another acronym) is not showing up then we first of all need to establish that you have a wireless card. 1. In a terminal type "lspci" without the quotes. You will get about 15 lines of text. If you can do a screenshot and post it. We are looking...

Hi kylerickards Just to make things clear, you are using an Ubuntu compatible distro with Tahr. I say this because in an earlier post you mentioned Slacko. I have an installation of Tahr64 and will use that as my reference although most Puppy's will be similar. There are various network managers us...

Hi kylerickards Slacko Puppy is a very good distro using Slackware files and not Ubuntu ones. I think you need to give us a bit more information if we are to help you. Hardware information and more details on the steps you have taken so far. I am guessing that you are trying to do a full or frugal ...

Hi all Have just got an Edimax 7711 usb wireless adaptor. It works fine under Windows and Ubuntu/Mint but Puppy will not recognise it no matter which USB module I try loading up. Have tried clearing modules and have identified the chipset as a Ralink but using RT73 and RT2500USB have no effect. I ca...

Hi all Sorry if this is an obvious one... I have installed Puppy onto a USB stick and made some tweaks and changes. I thought it would be simple enough then to run the remaster CD option and burn a disk with these changes but after I select the working drive for the image, nothing happens? Am I bein...

Thanks, may give that a go - still doesn't explain why two identical installs yield different results though? (And just booted up with each stick to make sure I am not going mad!)

Hi all Odd one, followed all the advice above and got Firefox 3.5.2 working on Puppy 4.2. Everything looked correct after installing the ttf fonts. Just tried to make someone else a USB srick like mine and everytime now the menu fonts look too small and fiddly to read - yet I followed out the same p...
