This module brings up the eth1 button and access to the wireless buttons in network wizard, but that's as far as it goes. When scanning for wireless networks in the network wizard, it detects none. Using this same mini-10 netbook under windows XP, the scan finds my AP and 2 other wireless networks ...

Puppy 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 use the same kernel; unless one of them is a retro version. Try using the puppy universal installer to install 4.2.1 to the flash drive. Use the pc to do this. Sorry for not replying sooner, been on holiday. My first post wasn't specific enough. The Puppy 412 that I have ...

How do I stop [ctrl]+f from launching the console?

In Puppy 3.01, do I use xbindkeys or Mouse/Keyboard wizard to change this function?
I prefer to use [ctrl]+f in Leafpad to search with, but it launches a console instead.

Thank you for any help on this,
