I work at a chocolate/coffee shop and my boss expressed interest in putting out an older computer for those without laptops to browse while drinking coffee. I told him I could set up Puppy for him and he seemed excited! One problem though - I need to get some sort of "gadget" (as he calls it ) for the wireless network. I tore apart the house looking for one wireless dongle before realizing I gave it away! Oops. Well, I still had a funky old SMC USB wireless EZ connect SMC2662W (part number 99-012084-040 if anyone needs to know) lying around the house collecting dust. I wanted to make sure it would work before going into work tomorrow so I booted up Puppy here and tried the at76_usb driver on a hunch - I saw that mentioned somewhere else on a different card.
So just:
modprobe at76_usb
And your new wifi0 should be up and configurable with network wizard - although on iwlist it will say "Network down" at first, but I was able to successfully connect to our home network. Good luck everyone!
Get SMC USB wireless EZ connect SMC2662W working!
