Wireless N pcmcia sold out of China that
I bought
It uses a
Code: Select all
Card-2: Ralink RT2800 802.11n PCI driver: rt2800pci
chip.
Code: Select all
# iwconfig wlan1 | grep -i --color quality
Link Quality=52/70 Signal level=-58 dBm
iwconfig wlan1 | grep -i --color signal
Link Quality=52/70 Signal level=-58 dBm
I used to run a Belkin F5D 7010
.ver 6 PCMCIA Wireless G card in here (IBM T23 Laptop).
Price is right for
New wireless N pcmcia and they ship worldwide. I already have mine.
I am not affiliated and I am not spamming this. Just posting info and think it is a good deal for Wireless N in Puppy on old gear.

I picked up a used HP Elitebook that has one of these Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300's in it. I've been using Slack0 5.6 & 5.7 & it works pretty well. Uses the iwlwifi driver. Sometimes it's slow to connect to an unencrypted signal when using Frisbee, but after a connection is made, seems alright.

NetGear N900 (WNDA4100) USB wireless dongle works in all Puppies with late kernels. Fatdog64-700a1; Slacko64-5.9.1; Tahr-5.8.3 all found the N900 out of the box. Others may work as well, I just didn't get around to trying them.

Netgear Wn 111 USB wifi dongle works in tahr and other puppies
It has been unstable in precise 5.7.1
Netgear Wn 111 USB wifi
Edit: It's stable in precise puppy. I had a damaged install which was giving me
a bad result.

Ubiquiti SWX-SRX and SR71 both worked for me nicely on slacko 6.

Got this o.n s.a.l.e (even cheaper than listed)
EDIMAX EW-7811Un N150 USB 2.0 Wireless nano Adapter
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6833315091
Works in Win7 (using provided driver from CD -- not automagic)
Works under Puppy 5.28 (using the XP driver from CD, and windows wrapper).
(my internal card failed and was replaced with this -- in addition to low external profile, the heat coming from my Win7 laptop dropped substantially -- apparently the internal card was shedding lots of heat -- didn't check for shorts in it yet...)

That device uses the rtl8192cu driver and should work in any k3.x Puppy without needing ndiswrapper.

Thanks Rcrsn.
I couldn't get the device to show up at all, until I used the XP drivers (running 5.28.005 IIRC rev correctly).

Excellent -- thanks for this.
I just downloaded the latest Slacko 5.7 and it doesn't see my TRENDnet usb. Will probably be ordering one of the edimax's today.

Please identify the full model name of your adapter. There is probably a driver for it.

Puppy asked me to confirm as it is not on the list as being wpa compliant so being a good "master" I am here to say it works fine on my wpa-tkip network

It's a TRENDnet TEW624UB (wireless N, if that makes a difference). I went to their website and it looks like they just have drivers for Win and Mac.

There are several versions of your TRENDnet TEW624UB, based on different chipsets. But they should all be detected by Slacko 5.7. So I suspect that the problem is with firmware, which often occurs in Slacko.
Plug in the adapter and run the command: lsusb.
Identify the vendor:product ID codes. They may be 0bda:8174 or 20f4:624d.

Yep -- I got the following:

So you have version D1 of the TRENDnet TEW624UB and it uses the kernel module rtl8192cu.
1. Go to the folder /lib/firmware/rtlwifi
2. Delete the file rtl8192cufw.bin (if it is present)
3. Leave this window open.
4. Go to the folder /lib/modules/all-firmware/rtlwifi/lib/firmware/rtlwifi
5. Drag the file rtl8192cufw.bin into the first window
6. Close the windows.
7. Unplug/replug the adapter.

I've got a couple of different rtl files. None that are named rtl8192cufw.bin but a couple named rtl8192cufw_A.bin and rtl8192cufw_B.bin.
I'm tempted to drag both of them to the /lib/firmware/rtlwifi directory. A good idea or no?

Move them all. What Slacko version are you using: 5.7-non-PAE or 5.7.0-PAE? The first one was known to be wonky.
Posted: Fri 27 Mar 2015, 00:19
by spongedaddy
Ugh.
I have 5.7-NO-pae. Will move them all but don't mind grabbing the PAE version.
