aspire one puppy

[sertse]

Posting to say thanks...love it on my aspire one. Good luck on the upcoming plans.

lol, Boxpup is also my favourite puplet.

It doesn't work, though i put in the WEP code it doesn't connect to the wlan. With Linpus there is no wifi trouble so i don't know what I maybe do wrong.
cable lan works ok in Puppy, the same does GPRS with my Nokia 6680.

The sum is that I am very pleased with Puppy - looks very promising. Guess that future versions will be even more out of the box.

Upon further playing around...

I think I'm similar to tofi

Wifi not working for WEP.

Scan detects my network, but connecting to it doesn't work,

Ok my wireless is open so I will play around with wep and see if I can get it working.

By the way WPA isn't working, although I' had it working with another plainer version of puppy.
Open wlan is fine.

[tofi]

I try to set up wlan from command line:

setting essid - ok
setting "key open" value gives error: "Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (882A):
SET failed on device ath0; Invalid argument"

So it is'n possible to add the WEP key, and there is no connection.

I just wanted to say Thanks - great work, and it works fine on my aspire one. I got the SD cards working after figuring out where to put acpi=off (syslinux.cfg for me), although it still won't boot if a card is already in the slot at boot time. I'm looking forward to the updated kernel tho as things run a little hotter now, and at shutdown it just halts doesn't shut all the way off.

Anybody for starting an open letter to Acer asking for a BIOS update that supports SD boot?

WPA and WPA2 are working fine for me with no tweaking.

And to put my resources where my mouth is, I'm willing to help host ftp if needed.

With mu's 27 kernel beta iso wireless works on my open router, I have not had a chance to try wep yet. (This laptop is a gift for my son so I can only work on it when he is not around).

Just got one of these little guys after my full sized laptop died. THANKS for the work. mine came with XP and the version of linpuslite I downloaded was not acer-one version.
I was looking into Intels (free to use) toolset to recompile puppy kernel and main apps for the AtomCPU. It should gain speed and powersavings.

[Alley]

Sounds great - I really look forward to that now I've discovered turning acpi off also disables my battery meter, which is pretty critical for me. Is there any workaround for the card slots that doesn't disable acpi?

Thanks,
Alan

next version should work, look for it next Tuesday or Wednesday.

Sorry ended up working a very long day to day but here is an update.

SD cards recognized if in @ boot but I have some info on getting hotplug to work I will play with that.

Wireless works and was able to connect with wep

Will have openbox and cairo dock and previous software.

Mic and soundcard work but volumes are low on both still hoping to get alsa compiled for mu .27 kernel, and that this will fix this.

Haven't even looked at suspend yet but hope to have something working.

Sorry, please,
forgot the download link address to the AA= puppy iso.

[iscraigh]

currrent version still working on the next one.

I'm also trying to get tethering to work over USB with my Windows Mobile 6 phone. Should be easy, just requires 3 complied files from latest version of rndis-lite as explained in the forum here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 827#251827
Easy enough, just substituting 3 files out for a newer compiled version.

Problem is, if this goes to a later beta kernel those 3 files will need to be recompiled, and the developer in that thread won't be able to as he's on 2.6.25.16. Is this something you might be able to wrap in as you're working on this? It would give the ability for anybody with a WM6 phone to use Internet Connection sharing on their phone and use their phone as their internet connection without having to deal with arcane and semi-random GPRS modem settings that the carriers don't like to release and half the time give incorrect info about....

Thanks for all your work,
Alley

I have just tested the acerone puppy (with ath0 and eth0 build in) on my Asus EEE 900 as well as on my friends Acer One

wireless, sound and camera are working on both

sound is not very loud though but that appears to be the case with all puppy distros on all computers I have tested so far.

But it is great that it is working (especially wireless), one singe puppy on the two most popular netbook (mini laptop) computers of today.

Can anybody test it on a MSI wind?

There really should be a general Puppy4Netbooks distro on the main puppylinux.org site!

[Dromeno]

addition:

SD &SDHC cards are recognized by Asus EEE 900 but indeed not by the Acer yet. But that is a detail. Can't wait for the final version though

[iscraigh]

I have the sd cards recognized on the aspire one but they have to be inserted before booting.

On my One, it locks up during boot if an SD card is present, either a 1Gb SD or a 2Gb SDHC, either slot.

My AAO is a basic Linpus one (8Gb SSD, 512Mb RAM), dual booting Puppy and Linpus via Grub - Linpus is sda1 (6Gb), Puppy is on sda3 (1Gb).

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Best regards
