(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I've created a new version of the Broadcom-STA pet for lupu-528

The latest version is attached to rerwin's post:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... start=1486

This pet is an update of the one previously made by piratesmack using the latest Broadcom sources and new installation and startup logic developed by rerwin.

The background (and equivalent pets for other puppies) are described:

If anybody tests it please provide feedback - thanks.

Cheers

All you need to do is run the "make" command ...
but I think you first need fully configured kernel sources!
By this, I mean that not only does the kernel source need to be present, it also needs to be configured, and maybe also compiled. This will ensure that all the necessary kernel source headers are built.

To configure your kernel source, do this - This will present you with the kernel configuration menu. There's no need to change anything in this menu, just exit, and save if prompted to do so.
This simple exercise will create a number of kernel configuration files. At this point it's feasible that you can go ahead and compile your "easy-slow-down-manager" package, but maybe not ... so proceed to the full kernel compilation - then Now you have a full kernel development environment. The "easy-slow-down-manager" drivers will certainly compile now.

Here are several ADSL USB modem drivers, of the modem-type which uses "PPP over ATM" communication.
The following 5 drivers are included:

cxacru - for the Conexant AccessRunner
speedtch - for the Alcatel SpeedTouch
ueagle-atm - for the ADI 930/Eagle
usbatm - for generic USB ATM/DSL modems
xusbatm - for USB ADSL modems initialized in userspace

I have included the necessary firmware for the ueagle-atm driver, but I cannot legally provide the necessary firmware for the cxacru and speedtch drivers. You will need to find this firmware, yourself, and place it in /lib/firmware
The cxacru driver requires: cxacru-fw.bin
The speedtch driver requires: speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin

And since PPP-over-ATM is not supported in Puppy Lucid (nor any other standard Puppy), you must also install the ATM networking drivers.

Here are the 2 dotpets -
http://www.smokey01.com/tempestuous/atm-k2.6.33.2.pet
http://www.smokey01.com/tempestuous/USB ... 6.33.2.pet

After installing these dotpets, reboot.

2012 Driver B43 is fool and Luci 5.1.1 does not shut down
rfkill-upgrade-k2.6.33.2 pet without any result

Have you issued a more recent version of lucid 5.1.1 repaired ?

Good evening.I amFrench, but i understand english, computing not to much.

Pelo wrote:2012 Driver B43 is fool and Luci 5.1.1 does not shut down

I'm guessing by "fool" you mean "not functioning". When you search this forum for "b43" you will see that this driver fails to work with certain (troublesome) models of Broadcom wifi devices. The problem is generally solved in newer Puppy versions with newer kernels and the new "brcmsmac" driver, but with older kernels (such as Lucid has) the only solution is to use the proprietary Broadcom wifi driver - this driver is posted by forum member peebee at the top of this page.



Be careful what you ask for, and what you might presume your solution to be;

Pelo wrote:rfkill-upgrade-k2.6.33.2 pet without any result

No, this should not achieve any different result ... except for what was intended - wifi on/off switching.

Pelo wrote:Have you issued a more recent version of lucid 5.1.1 repaired ?

I have never issued any version of Lucid "repaired".

Does anyone have an explanation for this? I was successfully able to get wireless with a USB dongle, but I'm not sure why it works this way. I'm trying to learn more about Puppy LInux.

My setup is 5.2.8 with update 001 frugal install. For my wireless, I'm using a USB wireless N adapter with a Ralink Chipset, product ID 3070. My router is a linksys wrt120n with WPA2 encryption. The command cat /proc/bus/usb/devices gives me:

If I use the internet setup wizard, Network Wizard or Simple network setup, the ralink module rt2800usb is loaded. Apparently, this may not work with WPA encryption. Nonetheless, I was unable to establish an internet connection. I installed Frisbee and tried to establish a connection, but again, no luck as expected. The strange thing is that I used a different wireless usb dongle (wireless G with chipset realtek (rtl8187)) to configure my network, establish connection, then replaced the realtek dongle with my ralink dongle, Frisbee connects to the internet consistently (on every boot). Can someone explain this to me?

Also, if I were to start from scratch and not configure the wireless with the realtek usb dongle, install a dot pet with the appropriate driver, do I need to blacklist rt2800usb module?

installed the logitech and joystick utils pets from this thread and after reboot fftest states that force feedback function not implemented..any tricks to make force feedback work in puppy 528?....steering wheel works but no force feedback function

CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH=m
# CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF is not set

Above means that the module has not been compiled. Maybe Tempestuous has compiled that as module. Check this thread from the beginning.

Could I make a request for a kernel module and firmware file for it9135 for k2.6.33.2 please.
This is a dvb-usb device.
Fatdog 600 is the only Puppy I have found that has them.

I downloaded and install the 8192cu.pet. The boot screen indicates that the module in loaded on boot up.

When I run the network setup it does not see the device. Though I can load the module.

I have included snapshots of lsmod and pmodemdiag info.

the lsmod shows it

8192cu 29370 0

Hopefully you can fill in the gaps of info and provide direction.
I am using Puppylinux 5.25 lupu 5.25.

people are still realising disabled LUCIDs
LXDE lucid nite flux from spane : no sound, no wifi.
Even now ! we have all the correct drivers available. Please issue a new ISO including them.
And long life to Lucid !

iwlagn :
What does that mean (here after) ?
The only solution at the moment seems to be deactivating wireless N mode and use wireless G mode only.
A lot of work has to be done here.

It will be my last try to be wirelessed with Lucid. I will stay chained to my ethernet cable ! but be cool, i just try to make things working, it's not a disaster ! Any news about this subject ? Merci les gars.

Hi there,

I have an issue with wireless support for my PC. It has Lupu 5.20 installed on it. The RTL8191SE wireless wasn't seen by Puppy at all, so I installed the PET from page two of this thread r8192se_pci-k2.6.33.2.pet It is now seen by the OS, but it won't "wake up". It just gives me an error when I try to connect to the internet with it.

I tried also using Carolina and Precise 5.71 neither of these puppies had any success with the wifi on my PC. These two more modern puppies just tell me wlan is down.

I have a temp fix of using a usb wifi which works (slowly), but it'd be nicer to use the onboard wifi.

Any help?

What's your computer? A laptop? There might be a wifi on/off switch involved, and it might be an "rfkill" issue.
To complicate matters, the standard release of Puppy 5.2.x (Lupu) did not enable the rfkill driver, so please first install my "rfkill-upgrade" dotpet from earlier in this thread -
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 093#452093
Then reboot, and run this command - Please report the result.

My PC is one like this.

http://au.shuttle.com/products/products ... uctId=1675

Not this model though, will have to figure that out when I get home. No switch is involved.

Will try the RFKILL update and see what happens.

Questioning the effectiveness however, as it also didn't work in later puppies. But will try tonight and report back. Thanks

Precise 5.7.1 (pae version) does have an rfkill problem - see

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... &start=126

rfkill list gives me this response

Soft Blocked: No
Hard Blocked: Yes

There is no hardware switch on this machine. Nothing obvious in BIOS. Will do more research.
