What version of Puppy linux do you use on the Acer Aspire One?

I'm not able to get WiFi working when running Puppy on my AAO.
Where do you get the updated WiFi driver and how do you change the driver?

I'm not sure if I understand your question. The scan goes ok and my WIFI network is found. But even though I fill inn the essid and the WPA password it's impossible get in contact with the Internet.

I am using the old, "classic" model, 110, with 512 MB RAM and 8GB SSD disk. I remember from earlier attempts with Kuki that it's hard to configure correct som that the Wifi connects. Strange, cause the card scans and finds acesspoints, but denies to connect (in this case with WPA encryptio...

Thank you for providing the url. I have installed it to a usb stick. All nice except WLAN doesn't work. This has happened everytime before when I have tried Puppy. The network is recognized but it's ipossibel to connect, I'm using wap encryption. The network wizard in puppy sucks. Sorry. wish they c...

Download location?
Where can I download the Puppy made for Acer Aspire one?
This link ftp://ftp.servage.net/aspireone/acer-puppy-410-27.iso
requires a password. Maybe there is a never version of the puoppy too?

the folder "aspirepup" is not there.

thanks so far

I can't find the Aspirepup either.

Booting from the Live CD and using the Network Wizard I can scan for, find, and connect to my wireless network using WEP. I did a frugal install to a USB drive using the Puppy Universal Installer, and Puppy boots fine, but Scan fails to find my network. I have read through the forums and I have see...

Thanks for the tip, but I tried converting to HEX, but it made no difference.

My Key in fact is in this form: 1abcd (one number and four letters)
and it sure is WEP, because I use it when I connect other computers to the network, as WEP.
Could this be something specific for Puppy, that it doesn't accept five characters in the WEP key?

Very strange. Causethe wireless works in Ubuntu on AAO and on my other laprop.

In Puppy also trying to set up from command line gives error:
sudo iwconfig wlan0 key 12345
Gives this error message:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) invalid argument "12345"

Tried both open and restricted under security, but neither works. Plus: "running dhcpcd" and gets an ip address, but no connection is made. But connecting to an open network (with no key) works. Also connecting to network via cable works. I have to add that Pupy looks very nice and works f...

My Network is found after scanning, but its quite impossible to connect after inserting the WEP key.

...but I'm sorry WEP encryption is still not working on the new iso.

Thanks - it sure looks very good. But I'm sorry WEP still doesnt work for me, neither with the wizard nor manually in a terminal wlan0 eth1 key open 1234 gives the output "invalid argument 1234" If I do anything wrong, is it possible to provide a screen shot of how the wlan configuration i...

Maybe I should try. My Lenovo has 3 gigs of ram so I guess it has to be rather fast running Puppy.


For the moment I have Ubuntu 8.10 installed. Nice distro, but some trouble due to hibernating. Maybe this will work in Puppy?

Has anyone made a puplet for Lenovo 3000 N200 for download?

Sorry, please,
forgot the download link address to the AA= puppy iso.

I try to set up wlan from command line:

setting essid - ok
setting "key open" value gives error: "Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (882A):
SET failed on device ath0; Invalid argument"

So it is'n possible to add the WEP key, and there is no connection.

It doesn't work, though i put in the WEP code it doesn't connect to the wlan. With Linpus there is no wifi trouble so i don't know what I maybe do wrong. cable lan works ok in Puppy, the same does GPRS with my Nokia 6680. The sum is that I am very pleased with Puppy - looks very promising. Guess tha...
