im on my netbook right now and puppy runs just fine (super awesome in fact)
what gives here? ive tried loading and unloading b43legacy , b43 drivers and still nothin...!
funny thing is though , last night the wireless was working great (but that was from running puppy from the cd before installed it to hdd) . but now that puppy is running from hdd i have no internet and the real kick in the pants is puppy wont even see my router (emachines install wont see it)
im stumped.... any suggestions?
