AirLink 101 AWLH3028

$11 at Fry's

Wizard used rtl8080, no good. Had to blacklist, download Windows drivers from AirLink, works perfectly with ndiswrapper and net8185 ndis driver, including WPA2 security.

Just got the above USB wireless network adaptor (less than £10 incl postage from ebay) working with puppy 3.01.
The 'Connect' wizard allocated driver rt2570 to this adaptor but has no WPA support.
I blacklisted this driver and loaded rt73 and all works perfectly with native WPA supported.

The easiest wireless card/usb yet.

Netgear 511T laptop card. working with WPA in Puppy 3.01

I was looking for a 'guaranteed' Puppy card, easily available in the UK, and wanted it to work with a module and NOT ndis ! I bought it six months ago but ran into problems, but now in Puppy 3.01 is was all so easy!

Puppy 3.01 > load ath_pci network module (which seems odd as it gave me the impression is was for desktop cards rather than laptop pcmcia type ... would it be possible to add 'pcmcia' into the text for this module?)

Ah this was soooo easy and pleasant to set up using WPA, it all just worked.

Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200, 500 Mhz, 192 MB, Netgear 511T using ath_pci module and WPA.

The Belkin USB wireless adapter model FSD7050 works quite well in Puppy 3.01

I have a quite old Belkin F5D7011 PCMCIA 54g (Broadcom chipset) card and never succeeded in having it working under Puppy 1.13-2.14 on an old Acer Travelmate 514txv notebook (celeron 500 MHz - 256MB ram). It simply never seemed to got power (no led activity). In Windoze 98 it worked well, yet in Win2000 the card hanged the notebook as soon as it got inserted in PCMCIA slot.
Tried the Belkin card today on an Asus notebook ( Pentium 4 M 1.5 GHz - Ram 256 MB ddr) and Puppy 2.16. With the Belkin card inserted, the bcm43xx driver isn't loaded at startup (led lights turned off). I had to load the driver manually, and immediately the power led on the card switched on. Configuring the SSID and channel made it work FLAWLESSLY.
I'll never know if the problem was in puppy 2.14 or in the Acer 514txv motherboard, since that old Acer notebook has been stolen...

Netgear WG121 (vendor id 0846 product id 4200 revision number 1.10)
Puppy 3.01
works with Ndiswrapper and drivers from "ndis5" diretory of windows installation/driver CD

must be plugged into a usb2.0 port, does not work in a usb1.1 port, at least not on my machine. Other devices here work in both types of ports on this machine, so I don't think it's my ports.

Puppy was the first distribution besides Win98 that I got this adapter to work with reliably.

At long last!

The TP-link wn610g v1.1 works in 2.15 using the ath_pci driver.
don't expect problems under 3.01 either

I tried to follow the instructions (below) but am not certain how to proceed. It is very possible that I skipped a step or did something else incorrectly. Here are the steps I followed:

1. Opened geany
2. Pasted in all of the text following "Code:" below.
3. Saved as /root/my-applications/franklincdu550/cdu550.sh
4. cd to: /root/my-applications/franklincdu550
5. Clicked on "cdu550.sh"
6. No errors, just a new "#" prompt

Did I do things correctly?

How do I get Setup - Network Wizard to see my USB modem, please?
