I'm new to Linux and only found Puppy last week, forgive any errors. I used the live 4.1.2 CD on an old Celeron 600 Dell laptop. Worked flawlessly and fast except for the encryption problem. The Atheros based Cisco wireless card was recognized and worked in the open. It would not connect with WEP. After two days I changed the encryption in the router from ASCII to Hexidecimal, typed in my 26 digit code and that solved the problem. No script changes from those provided on the CD.
I had a 6 gig hard drive loaded with Puppy die on that machine yesterday, (Travelstars shouldn't rattle when shaken?) I'd tossed a 1.4 gig in the trash because It wasn't close to usable with Windows or the flavors of Ubuntu. I fished it out, loaded Puppy on it and have a Gig to spare. Turned the old Craptop into a very usable $50 traveling internet machine. I can't wait to go to McDonald's and try it.
