HOW TO ... connect to a wifi network

#1 Post by gdemonta »

Here is a little updated how to make your wifi card working and to connect to a network, with screenshots (thanks again WhoDo for the EZpup)

Please have a look at this before you ask any question about wifi

Can't wait (I guess I have too :) ) to read this how-to!
This is the error I get , looks like SQL crashed:

The wiki is currently unavailable.

Error: Unable to connect to the MySQL database.

That Wifi Wiki is great! I have been playing with Puppy for a couple of weeks now and this is the first real clear instruction on WiFi I have found. I will see if I can get my laptop card working tonight but it actually makes sense. I am new to Linux and have been working with Ubuntu on my desktion at home but want to change distros. I figured I could use puppy to boot from my 2gig Jump Drive for now until I settle on a new distro. Thanks again.

When clicking on this link:

I get this:

Hoping this gets fixed, hate to lose a wikka

That really is a well written walk-through (aside from few, minor typos). I think even my mother could follow that. Congratulations on a job well done.
