chipset problems

I wasn't terribly surprised when 1.25ce failed to detect my via ether chipset, it has worked under 2.14 either. Worked well under 2.10r, but I had other issues there. I bit the bullet and use a usb ether connector with pegasus drivers as a work around. Neither 2.14 nor 2.15ce see my very common wire...

I've had success with Belkin using ndiswrapper, but I'm wondering about devices that might not need it, that Puppy is ready to run.

Haven't worked too hard on the sound issue yet. Wired networking using the built-in Via Rhine II connect...

Via Rhino II

Any solution ever found for this problem? I just bought an Everex laptop with a Via cpu. I tried booting Puppy 2.1.3 in the store and had no problem, so when I got home it was disconcerting to discover that neither the wired nor the wireless connections are working. I think there's an ndiswrapper wo...

I'm very interested in the possibility of running Puppy in a stable environment on either a G4 with an emulator like VPC, or on a Macbook with an emulator like Parallels. Going out to buy a laptop next week and I can either shop for a PC knowing that it will probably run Puppy -- my everyday OS for ...
