ndiswrapper not seeing wireless card in 301
Posted: Tue 12 Jan 2010, 18:33
hello, thanks
i thought i'd give retro lite v2 a try on a p2, 266, 160mram toshiba
laptop which runs puppy 412, 400, 216 with ndiswrapper/wireless.
unfortunately when i tried to setup in 301 the w/less card was not
seen....the card's chipset is Marvell 88w8335 "Libertas" which runs
well with ndiswrapper on other pups. when i used pupscan in 301
and 412 to look at the ndiswrapper module the version #'s were 13x and 15x respectively
i wondered about replacing the 13x with the 15x, then remembered
seeing an ndiswrapper-x.pet, which seemed a better first step, however
i couldn't find the blessed creature so any help here is welcome
cheers, mm
edit...i tried putting the 153 version in place of 133, desktop and icons
went to black, but puppy was still running so i tried setup wireless again
but still ndiswrapper not seeing card...rebooted desktop/icons back...
i found the ndiswrapper-20090414-pup2.pet, installed it to no avail...
i'm posting from skinnypup400 on the same machine with the same
hardware working . when i search 'ndiswrapper' in the package
manager i see 2 results so i guess i'lll try with those. i'll report back
either way. cheers, mm
edit2...no further ahead, despite trying.
i know from reading in the forum that support for hardware can vary in different versions and presumably in their derivatives. i'm going to assume that's the case here, unless my modest knowhow gets some help to make it work...there are other pups/puplets to explore in
this nifty neighbourhood in linuxland, cheers, mm
