broadcom acer 5021

#1 Post by markus.lar »

Hi!

I'm new t puppy, and so far I like it. However, I can't use my wireless internet. No connections

I know it's a bit hard with acer-computers and linux, on Ubuntu fon instance I need to manually enable acer-wmi wireless option at startup.

In puppy, I haven't succeded. Anyone got some ideas?

I've loaded the b43 wireless module in network manager.. no result...

I've downloaded the broadcom pet-file from the link, but I can't install it.

I've tried clicking it, no result. I've tried open it via the install-app. However, when I press on the button, (where I should press if I've downloaded an unofficial archive), nothing happens. It hangs up!

I ues the alpha 4 version of puppy 4.20. Should I go back to an older version?
