You need to tell us the brand and model of the USB adapter, as it is entirely possible that the drivers you list will not work with whatever it is.

it is a
GMYLE USB wireless 11N USB adapter

the manufacturer website page

http://www.gmyle.com/product_p/2827.htm

the driver i attached is the one that came with it there is a lot of info on the min DVD that don't understand. I have absolutely no ideal what i am doing i just fallow the instructions that came with the USB dongle thing and it dose not work.

so i looked on the web and did not find any thing that worked so before i throw it in the trash like the other wireless USB dongle i tried i decided to ask hear.

it works in windows XP so i know it is just something not right with the way i am trying to do it.

this is the instructions i got

===============================================================================
Software Package - Component
===============================================================================
1. ReleaseNotes.doc

2. document/

3. driver source code

3.1 Makefile - to build the modules

3.2 Script and configuration for DHCP:
"wlan0dhcp"
"ifcfg-wlan0"

3.3 Example of supplicant configuration file:
"wpa1.conf"

3.4 Script to run wpa_supplicant
"runwpa"

3.5 Script to clean relative modules
"clean"

4. wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-0.6.9_wps_patch_20100201.zip
The tool help the wlan network to communicate under the
protection of WPAPSK mechanism (WPA/WPA2) and add WPS patch

5. install.sh
Script to easy make 8192cu driver.

==================================================================================================================
User Guide(1) - connecting wireless networking using "Network Manager" GUI utility (For PC Linux)
==================================================================================================================
(1) Network Manager is a utility attempts to make use of wireless networking easy.

(2) Notes: if you want to use the following command-line method to connect wireless networking,
please disable the "Network Manager", because "Network Manager" will conflict with method of command line .

==================================================================================================================
User Guide(2) - Using the wpa_cli & wpa_supplicant tools (For embedded Linux)
==================================================================================================================

Please refer to the document/wpa_cli_with_wpa_supplicant_20091227.doc

==================================================================================================================
User Guide(3) - Set wireless lan MIBs in Command Line (Legacy command - Not recommend)
==================================================================================================================
This driver uses Wireless Extension as an interface allowing you to set
Wireless LAN specific parameters.

Current driver supports "iwlist" to show the device status of nic
iwlist wlan0 [parameters]
where
parameter explaination [parameters]
----------------------- -------------
Show available chan and freq freq / channel
Show and Scan BSS and IBSS scan[ning]
Show supported bit-rate rate / bit[rate]

For example:
iwlist wlan0 channel
iwlist wlan0 scan
iwlist wlan0 rate

Driver also supports "iwconfig", manipulate driver private ioctls, to set
MIBs.

iwconfig wlan0 [parameters] [val]
where
parameter explaination [parameters] [val] constraints
----------------------- ------------- ------------------
Connect to AP by address ap [mac_addr]
Set the essid, join (I)BSS essid [essid]
Set operation mode mode {Managed|Ad-hoc}
Set keys and security mode key/enc[ryption] {N|open|restricted|off}

For example:
iwconfig wlan0 essid "ap_name"
iwconfig wlan0 ap XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 essid "name" mode Ad-hoc
iwconfig wlan0 key 0123456789 [2] open
iwconfig wlan0 key off
iwconfig wlan0 key restricted [3] 0123456789
Note: Better to set these MIBS without GUI such as NetworkManager and be sure that our
nic has been brought up before these settings. WEP key index 2-4 is not supportted by
NetworkManager.

===============================================================================
Getting IP address (For User Guide(2) & User Guide(3))
===============================================================================
After start up the nic and connect to AP successfully, the network needs to obtain an IP address
before transmit/receive data.
This can be done by setting the static IP via "ifconfig wlan0 IP_ADDRESS"
command, or using DHCP.

If using DHCP, setting steps is as below:
(1)check if the WiFi had connected to an AP via "iwconfig" command
$> iwconfig

(2)run the script which run the dhclient
$> ./wlan0dhcp
or
dhcpcd wlan0
(Some network admins require that you use the
hostname and domainname provided by the DHCP server.
In that case, use
dhcpcd -HD wlan0)

karm2865, that's an incredible amount of information you have provided ...
but you never actually told us whether you ran the Network Wizard, and what the Network Wizard told you!!??

karm2865 wrote:Loaded Modules
r8192s_usb Linux driver for Realtek RTL8192 USB WiFi cards
That tells us that Puppy has detected your USB wifi dongle, and automatically loaded the r8192s_usb driver.
There's not guarantee that this driver will actually work, but at least you should tell us whether you see a valid network interface in the Network Wizard ...
and if so, whether this interface will successfully connect.

I suggest you take this simple step before we delve into the complex world of compiling third-party drivers, especially from such a dubious source as a "GMYLE"-provided computer disk.

Yes I have tried the Network Wizard many many times and all the drivers that were close to my device. Tried the ones I found on the puppy & Ubuntu sites

Most of these couldn't detect the device.
The one that tempestuous  mentions is one i found that is right driver for a different puppy and kernel

i knew it was a long shot but I tried it anyway.
it sees the USB dongle but won't connect. 
that leads me to think the right one for the right kernel would probably work but my attempts at compiling one are a disaster I can never get them to work.
If some one could be generous and help me out please. compile it or point me to ware it is already compiled in a pet or something i would greatly appreciate it

what i have tried

I tried using the Ndiswrapper with the windows xp drivers that worked with windows XP With no luck.. Couldn't detect the device.

i use the same puppy on my lap top wireless so I know the net work accepts wpa/tkip

the steps i do
network connection wizard
network wizard
install the driver i want ti try

the following new module has bin loaded: 8192cu [or what ever the name is]
no new interfaces where detected
uninstall
try the next one

this is for the driver that is the right one “RTL8192CU USB

the one that almost works and sees the USB dongle is from

you don't say which kernel
Filename 8192cu-k2.6.33.2.pet


as you see it is for puppy 5.1X

OK, let's get some basic facts straight:
karm2865 wrote:The one that tempestuous mentions is one i found that is right driver for a different puppy and kernel.
No. The driver I mentioned is r8192s_usb, and it's standard in Puppy 5.28.

i am using
lucid puppy 5.2.8 Kernel Linux 2.6.33.2 (i686)
I cannot understand why you would think that Puppy 5.28 has a different kernel than 5.1.
They both have kernel 2.6.33.2, and their drivers (kernel modules) are 100% identical.
I explained that in the very first post of the thread that you refer to -
tempestuous wrote:These drivers are only compatible with the 2.6.33.2 kernel introduced with Puppy 5.1 (Lucid).
At September 2011 that includes versions of Lucid Puppy up to 5.2.8.

Bad bad. Puppy will automatically load the correct driver it detects as being compatible with your device, based on the USB device ID.
You should never attempt to override this automatic process, and your problems might, in fact, be due to this. It's quite possible that the r8192s_usb driver (which is standard in Puppy 5.28) is compatible with your device, but you have also installed my third-party 8192cu driver - so now these two drivers will be competing to claim the device, and corrupting the wifi interface!!
You need to set the MODULES-PREFERENCES to define which one should be used ... or go back to a fresh install.

And just as important - did you test a wifi connection with all encryption disabled? This is a crucial test, as I mentioned in the very first post of the "Drivers for Puppy 5.1-5.2.8 with 2.6.33.2 kernel" thread.
You might, for example, find that the r8192s_usb/8192cu drivers won't play well with WPA/TKIP, but they work OK with WPA/AES.

Also, does your WPA passphrase have any spaces or special characters in it? Linux chokes on spaces and special characters - the solution is to enclose your passphrase in quotation marks.

I am a confused nube what else can i say?
I am not trying to build a better mouse trap just catch mice with the one i have.
i always try the standard out of the box automatic process method.
before i start trying do do the complex process of matching hardware and drivers. or getting programs to work.
I don't like messing with the coding, compiling and all that it confuses me badly i just don't understand it.

I tried all the automatic process with the standard r8192s_usb driver first thing.
It dose not see the USB dongle why? I don't know.
so i tried some others no luck.
so i went surfing the web hoping to find something that would work.
I tried to compile it my self using the cut and paste method diffident work.
so I asked hear.


I assumed that 5.1 and 5.2 where diffident Kernels I was under the impression that was the differences between the two I apologise for my mistake.

No i did not test my network encryption disabled not sure how i would do that it came from the ISP with all the security preset and they recommend i don't mess with it unless i Know what i am doing which i don't.

At the moment there are no spaces or special characters in the Key

if any one gets this POS to work on puppy Linux let me know.
i am sure you don't want to hear this but it all worked just fine with windows XP.

It helps to know that there is nothing wrong with the hardware. Windows is useful for that. :lol:
