You can find discussions about 3G setup here and in Barry's blog. Hope these can help.

You may want to open another topic for bsnl 3G datacard setup.

Puplite-2.0

#43 Post by sc0ttman »

Puplite 2.0 is out, see main thread.

- *NEW for 2.0*
- easy sfs version detect and convert, with Trios "SFS-Convertor"
- switch between jwm only, or full rox desktop (Menu->Desktop->Toggle ROX Desktop)
- updated all of zigberts apps to latest
- better locale support, with 'puppy-desktop' locale thing + NLS (from shinobar)
- better 3G modem support and updated zdrv (from rerwin)
- better control of startup/shutdown - moved more stuff to /etc/init.d
- removed addon sfs files from live cd

puplite 2.0 changes:
x update: open jwm apps menu by clicking *middle* button on desktop (not left-click) - better when using ROX desktop
x remove: goffice and printing sfs files from live cd
x update: use Patriots jwm to fix pmconky, if I make it work nicer with fullscreen flash
x update: make pmconky loader in init.d
x update: pmconky - add cpu temperatures, locale, current user
x update: add loader for automount in init.d, remove it from xwin
x update: add loader for create_jwm_drives.sh in init.d, removed from xwin
x update: create_jwm_drives.sh with the 9menu thing from goingnuts (allows mount/unmount and view)
x update: startups with descriptions for automount, pmconky, jwmdrives, nls stuff
x update: fix Trios sfs-convertor for Puplite and add it
x update: filemnt to ask to unsquash (or convert) sfs4 files, when not mounted
x re-enable pup_event_frontend using loader in init.d, (not .xinitrc)
x fix: add "apply gtk theme to jwm" button back to jwmconfig, fix wallpaper button (make it use 'sws')
x add: mpd (music play daemon) - cos why not? its tiny..
x add: pCD 1.5 , pmusic 1.5.2, pburn 1.3.1(+NLS) all updated
x add: puppy-desktop and puppy-desktop-NLS
x add: prozilla, cli downloader
x add: closedvd+rwtools
x add: rerwins 3G_pupdial-wireless-13 (and updated zdrv), also fixes some module loading tools
x add: firstrun 1.6, improved 1st bootup options
x add: ghunter_white-0.0.5, nice image viewer
x add: mime editor from bigbass, edits rox mime types, added to menu
x add: updated remasterpup2 from shinobar
x add: /usr/sbin/toggle-rox-desktop to enable/disable Rox Pinboard (PuppyPin icons)
x add: symlink of /etc/init.d/rc.pmconky to /root/Startup - so pmconky loaded by default
x add: menu entry for toggle-rox-desktop in 'Menu->Desktop->Desktop Settings'
x update: updated ROX icon and desktop settings - new wallpaper, fixed icons
x update: woofy 0.6: better sfs unsquashing, now uses mktmp, better sfs version choice (fixed my/iguleders code bit with mksfs)
x update jwmrefresh (check "~/.toggle-rox-desktop" for settings before load ROX pinboard)
x update _jwmrc_ with jwmrestart command for refresh menus
x update startup descriptions with all scripts used
x fix: rollback to prevous pupremaster2, so it works again :)
x fix: jwm_drives to check for empty MNTPATH var, and if so, use normal mount point
x fix: update woofy to use "rxvt -e" to build main sfs, so user always sees its progress
x fix: rename mksquashfs to mksquashfs3, then symlink to mksquashfs.. same with unsquashfs3..

please note, although 3G, wifi and other drivers have been updated, this is still an old Puppy 4.2, with an old kernel, and if you need 3G or modems, of your wifi wont work, you probably want a newer Puppy.

Just another note, hot plugging is disabled by default, you need to go to the event manager (Menu->System->Event Manager) to re-enable it.

Hot plugging is required for multiple drives icons on the ROX desktop, if that is what you want.

To do for 3.0:

- make hot plugging of usb devices refresh the jwm-only desktop
- make jwm drive icons show different icon for usb drives
- enable hotplugging by default, if working on jwm desktop
- make 'refreshjwm' (fixmenus_on_locale) run create_jwmrc_drives.sh, if not ROX desktop
- add madwifi and hal drivers from tempestuous to zdrv
- add fixed and updated xorgwizard - will boot xvesa, no issues
- add a simple quickpet (will have nice puppy hosting by 3.0 release time)

Suggestions?

Then:

Make a version of Puplite with the Lupu kernel...
Or the Wary kernel... Or the Fluppy kernel.

Notes about newer kernel version:

- It will boot straight to Xorg, not Xvesa
- OTF-sfs-loading from goingnuts will not work, but gyro has made something very similar for newer pups
- The default versions of mksquashfs and unsquashfs will be reversed (from v3 to v4)

Barry K has made a new vlc no_gui, with great codec support, I'm also gonna try to get it working in Puplite 3.0...

EDIT: no go, at least not before a kernel switch... :(

Hello scOttman,

Thanks for your help, but I do not have to use the system remaster. The system is very good in the original.

Thank you, congratulations on the job!

The same LAN failure as nooby

#60 Post by svgt »

Hi,

I tried a lot of network tools. But I don't succeed with my LAN connection. My onboard chip is VIA VT6102 Rhine II.

It works with all my other puppies, Lupus, Wary at least till Puppy 431.

Regards
Svgt
