Linksys WUSB54GC

The WUSB54GC works on puppy 430, but now well!! Sometimes the rt73 driver will not even load and ndiswrapper is a no go. If i have a very good signal it seems stable enough, otherwise it is very flakey and intermittent.

n8p: it does not look like you have an network interface (e.g eth0) that has been assigned an IP. When you go to configure your network via the GUI what is the interface listed as??? try typing: ifconfig <interface> up dhcpcd nooby, so you are saying that you have a connection that stops working??
