Puppy WiFi Assistant is completed!!!!!

@mark2,
Thanks so much for including the exact error message received. Since I wrote that error message only a week ago, I was able to recognize it and instantly know what was going on. Basically when I added the feature to omit unmoderated visitor submitted posts from the search results it involves a search spanning multiple tables and two of them have user fields I simply needed to make it clear I don't want results from Guest users from either table. Well that came out clear as mud. It seemed simple until I tried to put it into words anyway. Well at any rate the problem is resolved.
Kind regards,
can8v

The usable data from the first three pages of the originating thread have now been added to the Puppy WiFi Assistant. I hope to have the rest added by the end of this weekend.

can8v, Great job, thank you. I've just checked the site for D-Link and found the DWL-610, but my wireless card is the DWL-G650; would you happen to have any info for this one? Thanks

Aitch,

Thank you for taking the time to compile all these references. I read each thread top-to-bottom hoping for a 'magic bullet', but as a complete Puppy newbie (recent Windows renegade) all of this is way over my head!

At http://rhinoweb.us/howtosetupwireless.htm the 'wireless setup' video tutorial presented an 'Install' window (WizardWizard) showing an option to 'Connect to Internet by wireless interface'; thus, having easily succeeded to set up my printer with Dingo I naively imagined that setting up a wireless connection for my laptop would be as easy - Oh surprise. No wonder that option is no longer offered on Dingo.

Aitch, I need to side-step away from this complex topic until I become more experienced in Puppy Linux - Thank you!
--------------------------------------
PS - in the spirit of sharing info hopefully useful to others, next I plan to take an online PRACTICAL course on Linux at www.ed2go.com (www.ed2go.com/cgi-bin/ed2go/search.cgi and search for Linux). I was delighted with my two courses on 'Computer Security' (where I first heard about Puppy) and another on PC Troubleshooting. Hint: Click on 'Participating Schools' to get about a third off on tuition cost even if your country is not listed. Simply write to any of the email addresses provided and be prepared to make a phone call for credit card payment. (I have no affiliation with this institution!) Courses start at the middle of each month and I'll be starting July '08. (Actually it would be fun to have other Puppy newbies in the class, my screen name there is TomR.)

@rodrigt

the man to talk to [pm maybe] is tempestuous

he's our wifi expert, and I'm sure could give you very good instructions

exwin noobies are a common sight here, so you should get along fine

tempestuous is likely to ask you to run some simple command line tests which I myself am not too clear about, but which will both identify your kit & get it going

see my post here for linux info

Aitch,

Thank you, I've bookmarked all of your references. Before contacting Tempestuous I feel the need to do a bit more homework, as there are some basic parts of rtfm that I need to digest first. Cheers

Thought you might want to know:

I just managed to get a
aquip A/WLAN1 54M USB Wireless device with
Marvell libertas 8338 chipset working,
using Puppy's Network Wizard (under Muppy 008.3E) and
ndiswrapper with the WIN98-driver NetMW221.inf (and MRVW221.sys).

No clicking back and forth, the first try succeeded.

I LOVE PUPPY!
