Whether the wizard finds your interface depends entirely on the output of "ifconfig -a", so if you could open a terminal and run it and see if the interface is listed or not, it will tell us where the problem lies.Minnesota wrote:In latest version, today's latest... 4.1 Beta: puppy-4.1retro-beta-408-k2.6.21.7-seamonkey.iso
The wizard does not even see the LAN connection.
I can unload the module, and reload... as the hardware has been detected...by the initial load of Puppy from the CD. The system sees the hard wired PCI lan... but not the wireless. (processes shows zd1211rw running, as well as USB shows the hardware)
- If the interface is listed: please post here the output, so I can try and see why the wizard doesn't detect it.
- If it is not listed: the problem is at the level of the kernel.
What you can do in this case:
1) In a terminal, run
Code: Select all
dmesg > dmesg-output
2) While running 2.17, try to find out the device/vendor IDs for your device.
2.17 should have the lsusb command, which should show your device. I'm interested in the pair of 4 hex chars (0-9a-f) numbers: 1234:5678 (should be the second field in the output, I think)
Another option is to look at the file /proc/bus/usb/devices and look for the block related to your device. You can find it by searching for the module name or by finding the device name (though not all devices give them), then try and find the vendorId and deviceId numbers.
