I did see the post, but as it was about a USB stick (mine is built-in) I didn't realize it could be applied to my situation.

Will try
I tried with the dotpup, but to no avail.
I get network down.
If I do iwlist scan, then I get the message rausb0 doesn't support scanning.

All these tests are made with 2.15CE, so I didn't apply the referenced kernel changes for 2.13 and 2.14

Better wait for 2.16?

I updated the kernelmodule.

On my current notebook, the old one very often disconnected.

I slighty upgraded my wizard.
Now you can start it from one of the startup-files (/root/.xinitrc) like this:

muppy-rt73 connect

Then it automatically connects using the values you had entered before on next boot.

I also created a version for Puppy3, that now uses "wlan0" instead of "rausb0", so a modification of the script was required:
