Acer travelmate 2420 with onboard Invilink (broadcom?.. - or drivers at least) wifi g card . Not really sure what info from the drivers may be relevant, or helpful but did see driver ver 3.100. 46.0 come up alot. Checked out a link that seemed to show a lot of wifi stuff using that driver version (see below).
Puppy ver 2.12 ended up loading ipw2100 to make it work (doesn't correspond with Broadcom.. afaik?).
----------------------------------
note: ..couldn't seem to get a link working so copying & pasting the driver ver 3.100. 46.0 info..

Turns out (dug a little deeper) that this computer may have one of 3 diff type onboard wifi cards & mine has the intel one,
Hence ipw2100 (intel) driver works, which 2.12 (& works in 2.13 too
) picked up on & installed with the wizard.
