Wired Connection Solution
tempestuous, of course you're right on - dramatic change of heart - but the solution for this vexation was to simply wire directly into the router. So I wrote that the issue was resolved. And it was - for me. But your reply has turned me around. I'm new to Linux and forums in general and wasn't thin...

Atheros 5001 - It's not the wi-fi router
E-Machines laptop connected effortlessly. Easy business with Puppy 528. Still no connection with Atheros 5001 in the Sony VAIO machine. May have to get another machine. Unless anyone knows of a way to replace the Atheros with an alternative. Thanks again. wm

Atheros 5001 & Puppy Network Setup
Bigpup, thanks for your tutorial. :) Followed all steps, Puppy still "unable to detect wireless network". Wondering if there's a problem with our home wi-fi router. It's set-up to restrict MAC addresses. The Mint 10 hooks up right away to the home wi-fi and all the public wi-fi's in my are...

Hi, Thanks for viewing. Tried Wary 5.1.4.1 - unable to connect.

Atheros 5001 wi-fi & Puppy
Greetings and Thanks To All for Puppy! :D I'm new to Linux, recently acquired Sony Vaio VGN-N325E with Mint 10 and it hooks up fine to the wireless that has a restricted MAC setting. But we LOVE OUR PUPPY LINUX! Especially the New 5.2.8. Mint's cool, but not as cool as Puppy on older machines. BUT -...
