Under the 2.6.27 kernel the standard "ath5k" driver should support the Aspire One's AR5007EG wifi device.iscraigh wrote:I tried the puppy based on the .27 kernel but could not get wireless working even with the compiled drivers.
But if not, MU has compiled the modified "ath_pci" driver compatible with his .27 version of Puppy 4.1, here -

Aspire one puppy
For me all the hardware works except the right card reader.
Also, when I click hide panel in the JWM menu, it tells me (I forget the exact wording) "file corrupt, reverting to original".
It's great to have an alternative to Linpus for the AAO that actually works without having to spend days typing in terminal and searching forums etc. Thanks for your work!

I don't own a aspire one or a eeepc but I'm just wondering something, maybe once you get more advanced in linux, Maybe it might be a good idea to implement a few changes, such as.
Strip down Xorg to only aspire one drivers, and have puppy boot straight to the desktop, basically removing Xorg screen selector and options at bootup, Then maybe once the desktop opens for the first time something like LXRandr pops up and lets you select the default screen size and save the settings. Then maybe the keyboard language wizard would open. Also as Audio drivers goes, just about all could go and keep the aspire one only,/
you could get rid of SCSI drivers, etc. remove everything that isn't aspire one related. That would trim down the size by a lot.
anyways just an idea, great job.

Two questions:
Thanks a lot for the Puppy Live AA0-edition. It looks great on my AA0.
Two questions:
1. How can I save changes to the pendrive, and not to the SSD? Seems like puppy wil not permit this. Only option is builtin SSD.
2. Wireless is recognized but it seems like it is impossible to conect via the wizard.
Added:
I a now running the latest version 2 of Puppy live on my AAO, using my Nokia 6680 as a GPRS modem, without any extra config, just setting up the dialup client. All looks very nice and rather fast too.
But still cannot write changes when ending session. How can this be done?
I almost forgot to add that only the left card is reconized.

Hmm
Wireless should work using the wizard I have had no issues. This is stock puppy 4.1.1 with stuff added but I chose to customize for my (aspire one) hardware this is perhaps what has caused it not to give you the save options. I will test out on a virgin aspire and see what happens. I will be releasing a modified version as soon as I can, mainly look and feel changes. I will also try to get things working with the 27 kernel this may allow us to boot from the sd cards. Both of my sd cards work after bootup using pmount.
Tuuxx That is what I would like to do but currently lack the knowledge and time (Time is the biggest impediment). Do you suggest I build from unleashed, I have never done that before. How do I identify needed modules? If I delete them and use the regular remaster would that work?
So many Questions

Not sure if Network Wizard is the newest version in 4.1.1.
Quck and dirty way is to change .tgz to .pet and install. It will overwrite old version.

Well if you go with unleashed I would backup the main repo, just encase, but first I would try remasters, Its quicker and then once you get it going maybe try the unleashed route.iscraigh wrote:Hmm

I would first go and look at other acer one distro's and look at the repo for it and find the xorg modules and look at what they are including, then look at the puppy ones and compare drivers, then make a list of what is deleted and try deleting that.

Wifi Howto?
I am not able to get on the internet using Wifi in Puppy, thogh I can scan and find the network, fill inn the essid and the key. But I'm not sure that I am doing the right thing to get it working.
Should I load any of the drivers, I should I get directly to the wifi search in the network menu?

Okay the good news
I have tried puppy with the 2.6.27 kenel done by MU (thanks)
The sd card readers both worked although I found if the card was inserted @ boot and then removed and reinserted it did not see it again. If inserted after boot both card readers worked.
Bad news
The not booting from external sd appears to be a bios limitation not a puppy thing.

So I suggest frugal installs if you want to keep your linspire intact.
So the plan (subject to change) is to base a remaster on the 27 kernel if I can get wireless working. Don't expect it for a couple of weeks(maybe sooner as time permits).
Plan b is to base it on the incredible boxpup if boxpup (has latest usb fixes) will read the sd cards.
Either way it will have openbox ,cairo-dock, opera, as well as the prebiously added programs. I also may try to start removing non AAO needed things.
