It has Windows Vista and I've installed puppy 431 both of which can find a wpa AP and connect to the net.
But with Puppy 412 and 421 it doesn't work.
Did
Code: Select all
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
(note it really is spelled NAdapter in the last line)Vendor=0bda
ProdID=8189 rev2.00
Product= RTL8187B_WLA_NAdapter
With Puppy 431 it uses the rtl8187b driver.
Searching through the forum I found that with the 2.6.25.16 kernel it needs tempetuous's r8187-B-FEB09-k2.6.25.16.pet which I have installed, done modprobe r8187, but even after a reboot it still shows as Module rtl8187 in Network Manager.
Scan finds local networks but after putting in the Shared Key it fails to acquire a WPA connection.
Has anyone got this to work in 421 or 412?
Anyone can help please?
