I had some trouble getting this to build with the 2.6.33.2 kernel and thought maybe others are having trouble, too.
These instructions assume you have a 'frugal' install.
- First, download the devx and kernel source SFS modules. You can connect to the internet wired or download the files from another computer
Add them to boot by going to Setup...Configure startup of Puppy...Choose which extra SFS files to load at boot up
Now reboot...
It seems the kernel source wasn't properly prepared for building extra modules, so do that with:Download the latest broadcom sta driver from hereCode: Select all
( cd /usr/src/linux && make prepare )
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
Now extract it:Build the module:Code: Select all
mkdir broadcom-sta && cd broadcom-sta tar xvf ../hybrid-portsrc-*.tar.gz
Install it:Code: Select all
make
Now you need to blacklist b43 and ssb, you can do that by going to Setup...Configure startup of Puppy...Blacklist a moduleCode: Select all
make install depmod
For some reason, the ssb module was still loading. So I had to add this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:Code: Select all
rmmod ssb modprobe -r wl modprobe wl
The end
