Recognition of ipw2100 in network wizard

Good. For 2.17alpha (to be released in a day or two probably), Puppy checks that last parameter. If it has '25' in the first two characters, then the ipw2100 has to be loaded. This fix is in the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules script.

Thank you, I'll let you know here as soon as I can use the alpha. (will be without internet from Tuesday on)

Beem, thanks for all that information. I have a solution, but just to confirm something, could you run this:

# lspci -m -n -d 8086:1043

and post the repsonse.

This command gives:

02:02.0 "Class 0280" "8086" "1043" -r04 "1043" "2551"

Another problem I have is, that I can't get a working connection through the network wizard. My access point is found, the parameters given and when I select dhcp I get the message configuration unsuccessful (after 60 seconds)

But with RutilT I can configure and get a connection.

Linked to the detection issue?

Sorry to respond only now, but I have been away for > 6 weeks.
In the meantime I use the 2.17.1 now.

There is good and bad news.
The good news: At first boot the ipw2100 is detected now and not the ipw2200 anymore.
So I configure and do a save of the network setup.
Then a poweroff and have choosen to save to pup_save
Now the bad news: When rebooting only the ipw2200 is recognized as before and not the ipw2100.
Once loaded by hand I can configure the ipw2100 for connection to internet.

So the ipw2100-2200 issue is still alive.
