Thanks for posting this:-)
Ndiswrapper does work without issue BUT like I posted before, native drivers seem to be more conservative with power use. Ndiswrapper just runs the device at full speed and power.

I downloaded the r8192cd_pci-k2.6.33.2.pet driver and loaded it and wlan0 came up. I configered the network and my wireless network is finally working now. This is fantastic news. I am one step closer to replacing Windows 7 with Puppy. I am currently booting Puppy from a flash drive. Windows 7 won't let me repartition the harddrive to dual boot Puppy and Windows 7 so I plan to replace Windows 7 with Puppy. I'll have to try and connect to my wireless laser printer next to see if that will work.
Thanks for your help!!!

I always advise....keep Windows >>>> enjoy Puppy.
You might just want it the one time.
You can slim it down....reduce System Restore or delete it.
Remove Nortons crap etc....
a basic free AV is enough.
Plenty of fixes and links here.
