I have a P2 333MHz Armada with 192 meg ram Win 98 and a USB Wifi that I think that I can borrow. The local airport boasts of having free wifi. I have a whole stack of puppies and use wake pup on a floppy. We'll pick up my daughter on Saturday, and I'd like to try for it.
What should I be aware of?
It's sort of a one shot deal, once I'm there I can't go back for something that I forgot. Thanks guys.

Hello,
Which USB wireless do you have???
Have you tried it on Puppy yet??
Does Puppy recognize it and load the module for it..???
Which Puppy do you plan to use??? (215/301) Dingo needs 256mb ram to
run well, but the 2.xx or 3.xx series will fly on 192mb...

Get the Windows driver for it complete with the inf file.
Then set it up with Ndiswrapper.
Steps:
Open network wizard.
Select install module
On tab at top, select MORE
then select Ndiswrapper.
Tell it what directory you put the inf file and windows driver in.
Once it is loaded, check to see if the Network wizard finds the new device.
I think you can take it from here.
I have a USB Westell wireless device that I set up that way. It works great with Puppy 4.0 final as well as Windows 98SE.

Thanks for your reply
I was trying for 2.17 because this laptop won't boot from CD. I took from your message that I should try 4.0 So I did with wakepup. It locked up twice. Is Ndiswrapper in 2.17? Ideas to try?
Re: Thanks for your reply
Ndiswrapper is indeed in Puppy 2.17! Just make a folder for the windows driver and inf file for your wireless device in puppy, copy the pertinent files to it, and then follow the instructions in my previous post on how to install the driver.notned wrote:I was trying for 2.17 because this laptop won't boot from CD.
