How to use a BPI USB LAN adapter?
I have a usb lan adapter made by BPI. It has the usb plug on one end and a standard plug socket for the cat5 cable to plug into the other end. I do not have any docs or drivers. I would like to know what version of puppy linux supports this type of network adapter and what driver to use. I have been using a wireless pcmcia card with puppy using a win2000 driver and an ndis wrapper that works very well, but when I travel, some motels only have wired internet access in which case I would like to use the usb adapter.
Take a look here:

Is it any of that ? In that case, there is a linux module for it. Downloading the manufacturer drivers, I can see it uses the rtl8150 module.
rtl8150 is included in my Puppy 4.2.1
Try to get the Chipset info from manufacturer. It will help to find the right module.
