(obtained through Freecycle.com - but that is another story)
At first not sure what to do . . .
Eventually found this excellent guide
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/WiFi
and did the autoprobing
Began to suspect the hardware is not being connected
typing this:
iwconfig
got
Code: Select all
lo no wireless extentions.
I have two safecom cards (both working)
and two slots for the cards (can not confirm they are working - are they reliable?)
Now gonna see if I can turn off the internal modem by BIOS
and perhaps find some settings
I do have the (Windows only) driver CD for the Safecom
Found this

First I need my hardware working/confirmed?
Never used wifi before on my machine,
so really am a beginner in all this.
Any help appreciated
