Realtek 8811CU Wireless LAN 802.11ac USB NIC
Goodmorning, I'am Sister Mariagrazia and I'm from Italy. My English is a poor English so I hope you can forgive my bad english.
It is almost one month I had installed bionic pupp - 32bit on my old hp laptop to save it because the hardware even if it is a very poor hardware (hp 6720 con ram da 3 Gb e rom da 120Gb- Cpu celeron I don't remember the number in this moment) it is still in a good state. The wireless port is not so strong and the signal was very low and not stable so I bought in Amazon a usb adapter that was very usefull till I had Windows vista on my lap top but now that I had Bionic pup I have no software to use it on my laptop. I made Computer science 29 years ago but now I'm analphabet especially now that I use a new OS. Is there any people who can help me to use my usb adapter with bionic pup (or can you suggest me a usb adapter I can buy on Amazon that is good also with pc with Puppy linux OS? I hope someone can help me. Bye sr Mariagrazia
P.S.: my email is fsgc.srmg@yahoo.com

:::::::::::::::
We need your newer wireless adapter...Amazon a usb adapter
brand and number.
OopS: didn't see that...Realtek 8811CU Wireless LAN
And something else....sometimes better to boot with
no Wireless lan inserted.
Then when the desktop comes up...Insert it.
Use Frisbee to connect it.
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums ... -in-puppy/
Even your original inbuilt one may surprise you by working OK.
Depending where your router is placed.
Hot spotting from a phone works in Puppy.
I generally like to advocate Radky Stretch.

I test it on many machines.

As Chris said, your laptop wireless may be OK. Sometimes an F button (perhaps F6) can be pressed to turn it on. If not we can make a driver for your usb adapter.
Would you please run the following commands in a terminal & post the results:
uname -r
lspci
(just post the 'Network' results)
That will tell us what kernel & what laptop adapter(s) you have.

Greetings Sister!
And welcome to Puppy Linux!
So in Bionic puppy, you can go to Menu->System->Pup-Sysinfo->Devices->USB Devices->Sumary and then copy and paste the information into a reply here.
Also when you are in Pup-Sysinfo, Please copy and paste the info at Sys-Specs->Kernel
Or if you would like to do this from a terminal window, copy and paste the results of:
uname -a
and
lsusb
When you copy and paste the results from a terminal window, you only need to highlight the results to copy and then paste by clicking right and left mouse(or track pad) buttons simultaneously into the reply.
Also, please verify your CPU is a Celeron 530.
If it is, it will support a 64bit version of puppy linux.
Hope this helps...
Blessings Sister

Thank you very much to all of you
Thank you very much for your help I'll try to follow your suggestions and after I'll report the result. I really hope to be able to do what you've suggested me. I' m not good in english but also my computer science formation now is prehistory Ciao and as someone asked me God Blessing you for your help. Sr Marygrace

Hi.
I've made drivers for your usb adapter and your onboard wireless. usb is easiest, so we'll try that first.
NEW DRIVER is 6 posts down.
OLD DRIVER .pet file: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=017 ... 7516616633
Boot up linux without usb adaptor, & run .pet by opening it in file manager (pcmanfm). Then plug in usb adapter & try to set up network connection. You'll need to make a savefile or save folder when you shut down.

Hi!
4.9.163-lxpup-32-pae
USB WLAN stick with rtl8811CU (according to Windows 10 system data)
After installing your driver, an 8821cu (USB) appears in the module list, which unfortunately does not work for my 8811cu.

That is the correct driver for your usb stick. The firmware error 'partially covers' may be an issue. I had never seen that before, until earlier today, with someone using an iMac. That, despite being the correct driver, is also unresolved. Perhaps a later kernel may help, but you'd need a driver for that kernel. I can make that if you wish.
I am not sure that I understood everything correctly, my English is not so good (+ use google translator):
could I take an old kernel in which you put the driver?
I would be grateful for any solution. I gave my two laptops to my children because they have to study at home for school because of Corona. For me, there are only two very weak 10 years old computers left for working at home
Wich Kernel should I use?

olaf, before we change kernels, I downloaded later source & made a new driver. Boot up, uninstall old driver, plug in usb wireless, then run .pet which is here: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=189 ... 1401562382
Sorry olaf, that's got me beat. We never heard back from the original poster, so not sure it worked for her either.
You could try another kernel. I have a 4.14.162-pae one here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 41#1046941
Your usb driver for that kernel is here: http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=440 ... 3671860699 Not confident though.

I will try. (Don't know anything about change Kernel...)

olaf, the method for changing kernels is part of the link 2 posts up. A 4.1 kernel is quite old & you would need to try an old puppy (tahrpup/xenialpup?). Then you would still need a driver compiled. As for your link, it refers to development at github, which is where I got my source that didn't work for you. Perhaps try an ethernet cable connection?
