Hi,
I recently tried to revive my Dell Inspiron 2500
I installed Puppy Linux (lupu-520.iso) using the full install method. Everything seemed to working smoothly except from the Ethernet adapter.
I tried to load all the Intel's pro modules available with no luck.
I also tried the Ndiswrapper.
In addition the ee100pro module is missing which seems to be working (http://www.4sich.de/dell/dell2500.html) for this card.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!!

I used pfind to search for eepro100 on my various puppy installs.zep wrote:Any ideas?
Had to go back to 4.1.2 to find it.
Don't know if it was forgotten or superceded on newer versions.

Not sure;zep wrote:Thanks for the reply!
I downloaded puppy-unleashed-core-4.1.2.tar.gz and extract the eepro100.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.xx/kernel/drivers/net/ but I cannot load it.
Maybe I am missing something here... can you please help?
Thanks!!
Maybe right click file > permissions > make executable searchable.
Puppys' change so much from one version to the next, I never know
what will work.

I would assume that the problem is the 2 different kernels.....4.12 has 2.6.25.16 and 5.20 has 2.6.33.2.Pretty sure drivers are kernel dependent.zep wrote:Thanks for the reply!
