Sounds like you know more about the network side of things than me so sorry I can't help on that front. When I first started with puppy after XP dropped support 18 months ago others were very helpful and even pointed me to a 'patch' that I need to add (pet) in order to get my wireless card working back then. I didn't understand then what was being done, and even now have little better understanding of network configuration/wireless connection etc. More a case of a end user in that respect who either sees it work or not.sheldonisaac wrote:I followed that suggestion, but it still couldn't connect to the wireless.
I had changed the original Broadcom card for an Intel, hoping it would work with LibrePuppy; it doesn't.
I'm back in SuperLuPu now.Code: Select all
lspci -nnk | grep -i net 00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10ea] (rev 05) 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] [8086:0085] (rev 34)
If I can get a module (from where) for the Intel card which works in THINslacko, need I blacklist the iwlagn ?Code: Select all
lsmod | grep -i iwl iwlwifi 139181 0 mac80211 138394 1 iwlwifi cfg80211 116254 2 iwlwifi,mac80211
How do I do that?
I have seen postings hereabouts of modules and suspect that thinslacko might be missing a module that your hardware requires. But sorry I can't help on that front.
