(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi,

Introduction
I am experiencing difficulties to make my wireless adapter working and there is nothing about Bewan manufacturer on this forum.
I should be able to reproduce any single action needed to make this working and as I am new to Linux I need somewhere where I can write them down.
That's why I create this topic.

Any help appreciated, so that I can update this "How-To" with an Happy end.

I will use an high detail level so that even a child could follow me.

Configuration
--wifi adapter : Bewan Wi-Fi usb54
--processor : intel pentium III 450mhz
--ram : 320MB
--hard disk drive : no
--puppy version : 3.01-seamonkey
--distant modem router connected to Internet : Bewan 700G ADSL2+
---dhcp : off
---routeur ip : 192.168.0.1
---ESSID : FINWIFI (not hidden)
---channel : 11
---security : open

Starting
--adapter connected to an usb port, Puppy's CD into cd-rom drive
--Power On !
--select Fr (nobody's perfect) and press Enter
--press Enter to confirm Xorg selection
--press Enter to confirm 1024x768x16 video resolution
--click Connect icon
--click the icon near Connect to internet by network interface
--see that there is something in Interfaces part and click rausb0
--click Wireless button
--click Ok to confirm the following message :

Note: The interface you have selected uses the module rt2570, which does not support WPA encryption

--configure like this:

Profile Name: MyProfileName
ESSID : FINWIFI

--click Use This Profile
--wait for saving profile to close Will never do

Leaving
--menu, shuhtdown, power-off computer
--select do not save and press Enter

Please help me to go further.

At this stage:

Profile Name: MyProfileName
ESSID : FINWIFI

--click Use This Profile
--wait for saving profile to close Exclamation Will never do Exclamation

I do save profile first and then use profile.
I then come to the next screen to test the connection and let dhcp attribute an IP.
But test the connection button first.
But I saw your modem/router is configured for no dhcp. Any reason.
In that case give an IP manually.


P.S. Puppy c'est quand-même du plaisir.

sorry about being so late with this, but was in hospital, and am catching up on many things since.

with no hdd, unless you are using multisession cd/dvd, or some other memory device, where is it going to save to? could this be why the save never finishes?
