Subject description: Acer Aspire 1 NETBOOK using puppy 4.3.1		  
The problem seems to be puppy does not see the Lan.

It sees a wireless connection but no ethernet Lan.

I have tried to load random Drivers but no go.

I also have been unable to determine what kind of lan hardware it has. I have run hardinfo but don't see a land connection. it only shows lo, wmaster0 and wlan0 but no eth0.

puppy seems to work ok except for connection to the network.

Any help on where to find what kind of hardware is used for the ethernet lan or what driver to use would be appreciated.
Thanks

Maybe there is no Ethernet device in your PC.

This kind of thing happen to too often to think there is no card there.

You can try several things.

SNS that Barry have in some puppies does work with some cards where the other fails.

And Luci-237 often are able to get a connection when other fails.

I would try to do many frugal installs of different puppies say three different depending on what hardware it is.

So don't give up. Us the wellminded search to see if others have had same problem and found solutions for it.

Puppeee maybe work but test luci-247 too.

i'm using the netbook but booted with M$W and I can make this post.

I think NOOBY may be right I may need to try other puppys but I like 4.3.1

Isn't there a little switch to activate the Ethernet port?
Or is this only for the WiFi device?

When you connect the Ethernet port to the port of the router/modem, normally at each side of the cable a little green light is burning to indicate the connection is made physically. Do you have this?

If there is a switch I don't see it, there is a small empty square hole next to the RJ 45 but no lights.

Sorry, I was mixing two similar problems raised.
You did reply all questions.

So to repeat, you can connect with Windows through the cabled connection.
Please execute in a terminal/console lspci and post the result here.

A lot of new drivers have come out since 4.3.1. I recommending trying something newer, like LuPu, Fluppy, or Wary (with a newer kernel).

Then you can at least find out what driver you need and try getting it working on 4.3.1 if you want.

I was thinking I should see the ethernet hardware listed in hardware information list.

Also when I look in the message log the ethernet hardware does not show up. However the Wifi hardware does show up.

You would think the Lan hardware would be easy to locate.

I know the hardware is present because I can use M$W with the hard drive and access the network.
