Wifi adapter D-link DWA-140 not being detected
Hello all,
I installed macpup 511 (I believe it's based on this distro?), it seems the OS doesn't detect my wifi adapter. It's a USB D-link DWA-140.
There is eth0 (wired lan) but no other ethX interfaces.
I tried manually load different drivers but didn't work...
Even tried some related commands, and here is the result:
Can anyone help?

Yes, it is based on this distro, but "puplet developers" often change the technical underpinnings of official Puppies, sometimes without even realising it, and it's near-impossible for we users of official Puppies to guess what they have done. Your request for help would be most appropriate in the thread dedicated to Macpup -Dimka wrote:I installed macpup 511 (I believe it's based on this distro?)

They built it, they should know how to fix it.
The "related" command you have illustrated is "lsmod".Dimka wrote:Even tried some related commands ...
Well actually the OS does detect your wifi adapter - two competing drivers have loaded for it; rt2870sta and rt2800usb.Dimka wrote:it seems the OS doesn't detect my wifi adapter.Code: Select all
usbcore 91279 8 rt2870sta,rt2800usb, ...
And that's quite possibly your problem. You could probably fix the problem to going to -
Menu > System > BootManager configure bootup > Give preference to one module over another:
Then you should set preference to the more advanced rt2870sta driver ...
... but ultimately, this is for the Macpup developers to determine.
Hi
I have the same D-link DWA-140 wireless usb adapter which i can't get to work with Puppy 5.1.1.
I've installed the rt2870sta driver but its not working.
Any help would be appreciated.
I've attached a screenshot of my lsmod below.

Yes. The Network Wizard should indicate that you have a valid wifi interface, probably called "wlan0".
It's starting to sound like you don't have exactly the same device as forum member Dimka, and Google tells me that there are at least 4 different versions of the DWA-140. It's at the point where we really need to identify your device. Please run this command -
and report the "Vendor" and "ProdID" values for your wifi device.
