Barry since the athros chipset seems to be common in many 802.11a/b/g Wireless nics would it be possible for these to be included in puppy as a standard and maybe get rid of some the older wireless cards drivers that are there ? I'm experimenting and have found them to work with DLINK DWL-G510 PCI card H\W Ver B1 F\W Ver 4.00 DLINK DWL-G630 CardBus (pcmcia) H\W Ver D1 F\W Ver 4.00 The above cards were purchased in Australia so I don't know what Version are being sold Overseas The beauty of this driver is that you can run it in Master mode (Access Point) and have it bridge a wireless and wired network. At the moment I have a DWL-G510 running in an old PC bridging as describe above and as a router\firewall for my dial up connection For bridging to work the Bridge Utils package is required. BTW: Just tried 1.0.3 and reckon it rocks especially UnionFS for getting the Neomagic card going |

Sorry about that..... 
The madwifi site http://madwifi.sourceforge.net Maybe some of the aironet modules and prism ? As I think most people would have have a pcmcia prism based card.....orr just bump up the size of image.gz, about 1M at most umcompressed (if that) The Neomagic card ? When I modded the image.gz file to accommodate the madwifi drivers I modded /etc/profile to not start X on first boot, copied across the framebuffer driver, fonts and I had the libs in my home directory.With unuionfs the required files are there on every boot. |

 totally new to Linux, but wow, steadily learning. Thanks to Puppy, I have discovered GRUB, and also BOOTPART, and now have 80GB drive with Windows2K Windows XP and THREE Linux partitions. NTLDR boots2K, XP or GRUB which allows further selection, or loop back to nTLDR. ( ) The Linux Puppy partition is being used more n more as I discover how to do stuff. For internet access (Mozilla Browser) Puppy is working thru my Belkin 7633 onto Virgin Broadband(uk) using 3COM NIC card; but I have three other older PCs with Belkin USB 802.11G adapters; is anyone out there making Puppy work with Belkin USB wireless adapter 7050 ?? I would really like to learn how to cross that hurdle... only using WEP 64.. ?? thanks alanrtodduk@virgin.net

I have acquired a Proxim PCMCIA wireless card and understand from the Forum that I should use the native Linux MadWifi drivers. Has a DotPup been made for MadWifi and Puppy? This is another in my several years old multi-distro effort to find a wireless nic that will run on this laptop with native Linux drivers. Thanks! doc _________________ Thanks!

edoc, Look at the madwifi items created by tempestuous at: http://mymirrors.homelinux.org/puppy/wireless/ Not strictly a dot pup, but should be no problem to install and use. |

I went there and after reading the README downloaded and unzipped 0.13e [ ] orinoco-0.13e-patched.tar.gz 17-Mar-2006 10:07 43K [ ] orinoco-0.15rc2.tar.gz 17-Mar-2006 10:07 183K [TXT] orinoco-connect 17-Mar-2006 10:07 820 [TXT] orinoco_README 17-Mar-2006 10:07 4.1K I then tried to open it with PupGet as an Alien but no joy. How should I open this, please? Thanks! doc _________________ Thanks!

edoc, I thought that you wanted to install the madwifi driver. Instructions for install are contained in the readme file madwifi-ng_README . Just click on that file and read the instructions. The correct file to download and extract for madwifi is madwifi-ng.tar.gz . |

Sorry, my dumb pill. Saw all of the device-specific drivers and thought you were suggesting I might use those instead! Anyhow ... I downloaded madwifi-ng.tar.gz and followed the uncompression step. Good that far ... # tar -zxvf madwifi-ng.tar.gz ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/ath_hal.o ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/ath_pci.o ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/ath_rate_sample.o ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/wlan.o ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/wlan_acl.o ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/wlan_ccmp.o ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/wlan_scan_ap.o ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/wlan_scan_sta.o ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/wlan_tkip.o ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/wlan_wep.o ./lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/madwifi/wlan_xauth.o ./usr/local/bin/80211debug ./usr/local/bin/80211stats ./usr/local/bin/athchans ./usr/local/bin/athctrl ./usr/local/bin/athdebug ./usr/local/bin/athkey ./usr/local/bin/athstats ./usr/local/bin/wlanconfig then ... # depmod depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.29/net/wireless/zd1211/zd1211.o # modprobe ath_pci modprobe: Can't locate module ath_pci Now what, please?

Did you perhaps miss the
If the module ath_pci is not in the library
then the files have not been expanded to the correct place. |

edoc, Proxim, like most wifi manuafacturers, uses different chipsets in different models. You need to positively identify your chipset - by model number or manf-id number. See here http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=Proxim ... and by the way, I'm about to package a Linux wifi driver for Marvell chipsets for Puppy2. |

I placed the compressed file in root and opened xterm in root. Would that not do the same thing as cd/? doc _________________ Thanks! David Home page: http://nevils-station.com Don't google Search! http://duckduckgo.com Multiple computers - currently running Puppy Exprimo ver. 5x15 |
