I downloaded the new Puppy Lucid 5.20 but cannot gain access to the internet. I have a wired connection through router with a DSL Modem. The Broadcom is not connecting. The machine is a Dell MT 230 with 4 GB DDR 3 and 2.93 GHz processor. Just cannot connect to the internet connection which is always on.
Please help.
A direct reply through e-mail would be appreciated. My e-mail id <faridansari@hotmail.com>

Running Lucid 5.2 from USB - cant connect to wireless
Hi I have a wifeless DSL connection and currently connect without problem on my windows 7 OS however when I boot to Lucid 5.2 from my USB drive i cant find a wireless connection. It finds the appropriate hardware but no connection is found to connect too. I just want to use this connection to surf the web. What necessary first steps can i make to connect to my available connection?
Thanks
Thanks

Ive tried that. It cant find any valid connection. Im wondering if i has anything to do with my network not being secured highly enough. Will keep or cause the available network from appearing?
Maybe some answers here:

I'm reasonably confident that you have an onboard Broadcom ethernet chip, supported in Puppy by the tg3 driver ...farid02 wrote:The machine is a Dell MT 230
but this driver often requires the "broadcom" PHY driver as a dependency, which is not automatically loaded.
The solution, in theory, is as I posted here four days ago -

Unfortunately, the original poster in that thread has not been courteous enough to confirm if my suggestion worked.
