I have installed puppy linux 5.1.1 on a dell inspiron 8600 and I love it !! BUT ..the wireless keeps dropping after a few minutes. All I have to do is go into connect, choose the adapter and click on the DHCP button. after a few seconds its fine again.... until it drops out again Everything else works brilliantly but can someone help fix this ? |

Is this a built-in wireless, or a USB dongle? I have noted several people having trouble with USB dongles, myself included (though mine was being used on a desktop) -- I recently swapped my USB for a PCI card, and my wireless no longer drops out. My Latitude with an installed card does not drop out (and IIRC, I had no trouble with my PCMCIA wireless card prior to installing the internal card). |

It's a common complaint, with any kind of wireless device in 5.1.1. Installing Jemimahs' "Pwireless2" solved the problem for me. edit; pwireless2v1 http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=703235764&t=48816 _________________ Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
