Hello all.
I am new to linux, and have chosen Puppy Linux 4.3.1, and have so far been extremely pleased with it. It boots up amazingly fast, looks good, is functional: in short, has everything windows lacks.
However, I have had issues connecting both my laptops to the internet via my wireless networking card. According to windows Vista, it is an Atheros AR5007. When I go into the connection manager, it is all fine. It detects my card, my network, finds an IP address and says that all is good. However, when I try to use the internet, it spits up a connection error. When I connect my laptop to the modem via Ethernet, it works fine.
Could anyone possibly tell me why this might be? Thankyou very much.
Also, on an unrelated note, I am running puppy off my flash drive, and was wondering whether the root folder is stored on the flash drive, or the computer hard drive. Thanks again.
Puppy 4.3.1 network connection issues
I know this is an older thread but deserves some help.
You can always run the following command to check what is root:
df -h
This will show you what root is and where it's located at.
As for the wifi issue, I've been having this as well so I've beenusing eth0 instead. I would like help as well with wireless and this OS. More to come as my soon attempts begin.
