Would a USB wifi dongle or adapter work for you?

Once WEP comes into play the wifi card sees the access point but does not connect. When using Ruit in tandem with the connect gui from Puppy's desktop my laptop got into some type of loop and crashed. I also tried an orinoco driver rc13 newly compiled by Tempestuous with the same results. There is yet another newer driver listed as orinocorc15 available but I don't have a means to compile this and don't wish to use up Tempestuous with requests to compile drivers everyday.
I am looking on this forem to find posts of which wifi cards seem to work properly.
Thx,
Vito
PS many thanks to all developers and BarryK for 217.1 - my only linux is Puppy going forward
