I am using a Sony Vaio PCG-691P notebook (1.73MHz, 1.5GB RAM) and have several versions of Puppy Linux installed frugal.
Most versions of Puppy Linux - Wary, Quirky and Lupu - would be able to detect the wireless interface and install module ipw2100 INTEL(r) PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Driver.
However, 214x Top7 does not detect the presence of a wireless network interface.
I have installed the 214xtop7-Wireless-fix-01.pet but still not change.
I have manually tried to load the ipw2100 module but get a message that the module cannot be loaded.
Appreciate any help I can get.

Hi ttuuxxx.

First of all, I like to thank you for making your 2.14X series featuring the old Beetle on the beach.

Moreover, I like to tell you that I‘ve borrowed one of your Beetles and have driven it to another place. I hope, this is ok for you.

Since it was the first time that I‘m driving a virtual Beetle, I didn‘t take your newest one of course, this time. I hope that is ok for you, too.

By the way, I‘ve seen a small dot on the hood of the Beetle. And while I haven‘t got any water with me to clean it, I just put a small sticker onto the dot.

After putting some things into the Beetle, I drove away.

Driving a Beetle makes much fun - but the reverse gear is a little bit difficult to find.

So, if you like to know, where the Beetle is parking at the moment, please take a look here:

There's one thing about the new NV driver, The fonts are somewhat blurry compared to Vesa. when using Firefox or any X app, any ideas where to set them?

ttuuxxx,
Do you have a package for Firefox (or Seamonkey) that would install on my Puppy 2.17.1 system? I need a version of FF/SM that won't require a lotta configuration and modification. Where is the repo for Classic Pup 2.14X?

did you try the wireless fix from page 284 ?

Hi all,

I use 214X with wireless and the problem described above seems to have been introduced after Top6. I tried all the subsequent versions up until Top7, but have kept using Top6 since it is the last version in which the wireless configuration routine works as it should.

ttuuxxx, I haven't tried the wireless fix from page 284 myself, but someone reported that it did not resolve the issue completely, if I am not mistaken.

Cheers - hope everything is going well with your daughter and all. As a previous member mentioned, you WILL have normal nights of sleep again ... don't despair !

Rick
