How to use Acer Aspire 5745G wireless?
Hello!
I am a new user of Puppy and I have a problem with my wireless card. The problem is that puppy doesn't recognize the built-in wireless card.
I have a laptop acer aspire 5745G and I've installed and use Lucid Puppy 5.2.8
Please help.

Did you verify that you're using the version of Lucid mentioned on that post and have the correct kernel version? Also, would you open a terminal and post the results of...
Code: Select all
lspci -nn
If nothing else works, there is also this option, although I don't know if it will work for Lucid.

Later driver required
You need the latest driver (6.30.223.248) for your particular wireless card. Unfortunately, new drivers are rarely made for old versions of Puppy. I got an Acer Aspire recently & page 8 of the link below contains Peebee's driver for Slacko 5.7, which works. Suggest you use Slacko 5.7 & install Peebee's .pet file.

** UPDATE **
I found compiling files for kernel 2.6.33.2 (Lupu 528.004) & have made a working driver. It is 6.2mb, so I can't post it here.
