I decided to re try my Tenda usb mini wireless..(311U v 2)- the wizard had the correct module rt2870/rt3070sta- I booted luci 5.28 -the network wizard kept saying I had a successful wireless connect but when I went on the internet -no remote server.. So I saved my network profile then installed Fris...

HI I got wireless again with luci 5.28 - a few more times, even in the other 2 nix partitions -not xp tho.. :P But everytime I shut down the puter or booted to another partition when I came back to luci my router had to be configured again.. The last time it refused to consider me anything other tha...

I got wired back up, so I will try adding the option line to puppy.conf.

I don't have luci 5.28 installed, just the cd plus saving the file on a partition...

Thanks for mentioning the resetting of the router.
I was wondering if I should do that...

Tempestuous-I just took out the athk9 option from the modprobe.d and the wireless worked for one boot,when I went to the other partition for awhile and came back and rebooted the second time-I couldn't get online-. so I missed something.. ATM I can't get online wired or wireless, not sure that's any...

Sure, I'd be happy to try that ...

Let you know later tonite..

OH YAYAYAY!!! I'm on here WIRELESS!!! :D 8) This might seem elementary to most of you, but I thought I could turn off the encryption from the router gui and/or the net wizard... NOPE! So if this happens to you, go back to factory settings on your router page or press the reset button...derrr... :P T...

I am going to repeat the instructs again after work tonite, to make sure I didn't miss any step or mess up anything the first time.... I made a separate ath9k.conf hoping maybe the driver would find the option easier... but :roll: sure that wouldn't really have anything to do with anything... Readin...

OK, thanks for answering, Dingo.

Will be giving it a try, when I do, will let you know which Pup version it works on for me.

Ok it's back to saying it just can't connect to a network-

Doubt it's because of the ath9k.conf**....but at least it's not going backwards..

**the .conf I made separate on it's own, instead of added to puppy.conf.. to clear up confusion...

I got the option in puppy.conf - rebooted -tried to get on the internet wirelessly w/o encryption or FW.-with WEP then back to nothing - tried about ten times tonite and about that much last night. Even moved the router around like that might make a difference.. :D On 5.28 I see more networks but th...

Question-this is the only 'modprobe' in /etc/ (modprobe.d) Where does the option go-puppy.conf? Or am I way off base? sh-4.1# dir /etc/modprobe.d -l total 18 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2507 2011-02-21 15:37 alsa-base.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 357 2011-08-30 12:03 alsa.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 156 2...

That was fast!

Intermission, I thought I had Lucid 5.28 so I will have to download and burn it...then will be trying your patch!

Will let you know!

I am in the USA- that is strange. The card says it was made in China, So does the Router. Thanks! PS> Just to add, before this I used a Tenda usb adapter to get wireless- It seemed to work ok, but not with the router hooked up- I decided to get rid of it - also the usb kept getting hot. It was also ...

Can this be used on Wary 5, LightHouse Pup, lupu 528 or Three Headed Dog (5.29)?

I do have Imagemagick on all- but I'm not very good at building from source yet..

TIA

Thanks for all of your suggestions!
Ubuntu? Cool, that never worked on here either..
Hardy Heron is the only one..

Tempestuous, here are your gzips.

Keeping in mind my puter setup-can anyone suggest what Netgear card might be compatible with my router..

Hoping the store will take my card back-if that is causing the problem..

This wireless is new to me.

I was hoping it was just a setting I maybe have wrong..

TIA-Marja

Thanks, I checked it out -it's v2.

I got Three Headed Dog booted up! I got sound, videos -everything! Ha! Puppy conquered Slack on my system.. :D When I tried to go wireless it said "the DHCP server could not connect".. I tried with a firewall, w/o one, no encryption, WEP, WPA-w/key- and auto DHCP -even static .. I did save...

OK! Thanks for answering about the firmware..

Yeah, just downloaded Three Headed Dog a few minutes ago..
let ya know tommorrow if it worked on here...

Marja

HI! bigpup and cthisbear, yes, your links were two of the first I read thru, perhaps there's something I need to go over in them again - there is alot of information in them! :) Tempestuous, yes, it is a very new card, you are correct about the number. I also saw the 'Three Headed Dog'- just wasn't ...
