I've tried the different rt3370sta drivers from "Drivers for Puppy 5.1-5.2.8 with 2.6.33.2 kernel" in the Drivers section of the forum. However, none of them have worked. Any suggestions?

Thank you jedi master tempestuous.

I looked at

http://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x

but did not know if you had built the pet packages available on that or one was available or not. So I did not mention it.

I installed Slacko 5.3.3 However it is still not detected. I tried loading rtl8192cu through the network wizard, but it was still not detected.

OK, Google tells me this new driver requires external firmware ... groan!
Firmware now attached.
After installing this dotpet, reboot, and try the Network Wizard again.
If still no success, run the "dmesg" command and look for clues about how the rtl8192cu driver loaded.

I tried the firmware, still didn't work. I checked through dmesg

All I found were

You need to investigate whether the rtl8192cu driver is definitely compatible with your device ID, by running this command -
