not preoccupied with speculation but looking at different option with limited knowledge.

Enjoying puppy linux but still totally new to it.

Any ideas on why this wireless card can scan networks, get a bad IP and not connect even to an open network.

Cheers

I have check the router it is fine. My daughter has her windows machine linked to it and my palm pre links no problem.

Would something like MAdwifi be helpful.

And to the other gentleman referring the the cs file. Someone claimed this was the file they used to make it work. Not helpful to me.

okay so here is the deal. Auto dhcp claims to work but it gives this strange ip address 169.254.202.109 My system use 192.168.2. something when I ping 169.254.202.109 it responses. When I ping the 192.168.2.1 which is the gateway nothing happens. Correct me if I am wrong but the primary IP add shoul...

Is there some way to trace what the connection is doing and maybe identify the error?

Wow this is frustrating LOL

I used the blacklist tool the other driver could not find it.

Reset the orinoco_cs and it still did not work

is there a ndis wrapper inf available?

it auto dhcp just fine goes through the process. when I test eht1 it fails to connect. it is set to wep and the password is right. I have a neighbor with an open network it dhcp fine to that as well then it fails eth1 test network. I will blacklist it. I assume using the same code you provided earli...

Hi Gary

Tried the modprobe -r it told me FATAL orinoco_cs is use.

So that proved not to help . . . . sigh

On a happy note love playing with the enlightment stuff. SO MUCH FUN

Cheers

Hey I should also mention. When I scan it finds networks. Even if I choose a non secure network it fails to connect. So WPA is not the issue and I use WEP on my network anyway. My house aint the pentagon LOL And Gary I too love the tosh 2000 it is light, simple, and so easy to chuck in my breifcase....

Yes the switch is in the on position. I did have it working with Sabayon linux installed but the system was far to heavy for this laptop. Ran slow and had some issues but the wireless was functioning.

After some reading I have discovered that some user are have success with the 3c589_cs driver for portege 2000 wireless card. I have Macpup installed with 4.2 puppy and it keeps defaulting to orinoco_cs which does not work. How do I get eth1 to release the orinoco_cs driver and allow me to use the 3...

it recognises my internal wireless device as eth1. It allows me to scan and find network. when I setup my wep password and select use this profile it comes up dead. autodhcp and test eth1 both say unsuccessful. The thing is when I scan I find networks. Is this due to the listing as a eth instead of ...

I loaded xorgwizard2 into usr/sbin and well it just worked. One small problem is now occuring. it recognises my internal wireless device as eth1. It allows me to scan and find network. when I setup my wep password and select use this profile it comes up dead. autodhcp and test eth1 both say unsucess...

It should read "Trident CYBER 8820"

It is listed as "Trident Cyber 8820" Just as a not I have puppy installed on the hard drive. I did this by removing it from the laptop and installing it in another computer to load puppy files. This laptop has no bios usb or cd rom support. I like it becasue it is tiny and fast. not sure i...

I had Freespire running on this computer using the same install method. Removing the harddrive putting the files on and reinstalling in the laptop. So I know it works with Linux.

I like teenpup and puppy in general far more than other linux distros.

Hey guys. I have a toshiba portege 2000 laptop which I love. It needs some love as it has no way to boot from a cd or a usb. So I took out the hard drive put it on another machine and uploaded teenpup. Everything went great until it got to the probing for video hardware. It basically stalls right th...

It directed me to run xorgwizard to reset the video and then I ran xwin and it came back. I have three teenage daughters here so unexpected shutdowns are common. Teenpup runs great and they really like using it. I am giving copies to all my friends and encouraging them to switch. Can not wait to see...

Okay so I discovered that if you do not set the time zone and the time a system crash hangs you up at the point I initially listed.

Now it hangs me up at

etc/rc.d/rc.local

it goes to prompt : #

So am I missing something here?

I have installed Teenpup 2.14 on the hard drive of several computers and really like it. The issues is if the computers powers down unexpectedly or freezes up and has to be hard rebooted it no longer boots to Teenpup. it hangs up on "no such directory /etc/TZ" it just sits there and dies. ...

I have teenpup 2.14 installed on several computers, harddrive install. If the system crashes or losses power the boot no longer works. it hangs on "etc/TZ no such directory"

not sure what to do. By the way I am very new to linux and well loving it.
