It appears from Sierra site the 881 is in the same series as the 875s which I use. Those modems need 3 usb devices. If /dev/usb/ttyUSB0 works for you create /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 and ttyUSB2 manually if they do not exist. I had problems on my 875s and this thread might help http://www.murga-linux.com/pup...

I'm running Pup 3.0 on that machine and it uses the 2.6.21.7 kernel also and it has the ipw3946 module. Is the ipw3945 module loading? If it is, then run "top" in a console and look for a process "ipw3945d". If it isn't running then that is your problem. I had that problem on Mup...

My ThinkPad uses the Intel Pro Wireless 3945. In Puppy 3.0 and in Muppy it used the ipw3945 module and configured as eth1. In the latest Grafpup alpha release the module has changed to iwl3945. That version of Grafpup uses the 2.6.24.3 kernel. I don't know which kernel Pup 4.0 uses but this might be...

Possible wifi bug in Muppy???

This one drove be silly for a while. It appears that when using an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 card and doing a type 2 install, Muppy does not copy a very important file to the hd. That file is /sbin/ipw3945d. I have run through the install procedure 3 times and the result is always the same. If anyone ...

How do you know the Linksys driver won't work? I have seen card manufacturers use all types of chipsets. Sometimes there are different chips on the same model. The only difference will be the version number of the card. Download the Linksys for your model and version of the card and try it.

Need some modules for 3.01

I'm wondering if there is a kind Puppy (or Muppy) developer who would compile some modules for 3.01 so I could get my Realtek rtl8187b wifi working? They are located here along with a readme file.... http://www.datanorth.net/%7Ecuervo/rtl8187b/ I compiled them on VL 5.9 and the card works great. Reg...

Try loading the ohci_hcd module.

It's the first distro I've come across that doesn't load it on boot. Modprobe that module and then ...

The Canon drivers for the i250 were issued in New Zealand and The Aussies also got them. Go to their Canon sites to find them. I used the installation instructions from the i250 to get the Japanese i560 driver installed for my printer.

The only Aircard I see on the Sprint site is the 560. Is that the card you have? Serra provides drivers for some of their Aircards with the kernel and I knew my 875 was supported. You might try emailing this guy to be sure your card is supported. He writes the Sierra driver. Kevin Lloyd <linux@sierr...

There are Canon drivers for this printer but they were issued in Japan only. In japan the printer was called PIXUS 965i.
