How do I setup my wireless

#1 Post by bakekoq »

Hello, All.

I'm just a newbie and don't know anything. Now, I'm trying from the scratch. I try to setup my networking interfaces for my laptop. but, only:
interface: eth0, Type: Ethernet, Module: r8169, Device description: Realtek Semiconductor RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller.
I'm using ASUS X43U but I don't know what's the type of my wireless hardware because I don't get any information when I buy this laptop.

Sorry, for the incovenience because I'm asking a simplest thing. Hopefully U will share any kind of information that I need to be better user in Linux. because, I'm determined that I'll use Linux forever (as long as I can) even though my friends in the office said that I just need to install win7. So, I really need ur cooperations for helping me setup my laptop so It can do anykind of job in windows.

Thanks a lot.
btw, here's the log after I do some command that's suggested in another forums. I do #dmesg ; #lsusb -v ; #lspci -k

*I'm using another computer right now to post here. but, the txt file is not allowed here. T_T. I'll try to take anothers to post again for just a few minutes. :D

Code: Select all

For wireless connection try using this guide.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=65346

Also, need to tell us what version of Puppy you are trying to use?
For a new user I would suggest you try Lucid Puppy 5.2.8.005.
It has a lot of useful help and very good hardware support.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

owh, I see. but, I'm using Linux puppy 2.6.33.2
I'll try to lookup the thread. thanks for the info. :D

update:
the Puppy Network Wizard that's shown in the thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=65346 by Catdude:

the picture above is not same with me. in my Puppy Network Wizard there're not any interface wlan0. there's only one interface detected there, eth0.
It's confusing me. why don't wlan0 interface detected any here?

Can you help me for this?

Thanks for the help..

Specs:

Very hard to find....might be Atheros 8131

http://support.asus.com/Troubleshooting ... s=&no=1774

I would try a version of Dpup Exprimo by >> pemasu
Only Puppy that made Asus EeePC work.

Try this first....Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.2.4 with 3.4.2 kernel.

"2.6.33.2" is the kernel version. You're probably running Puppy Lucid 5.28.

That's an onboard Atheros miniPCI wifi card - device ID 168C:0032
That device is supported by the ath9k driver ... but only in recent kernel versions. The 2.6.33 kernel is too old.
Move up to Puppy Slacko 5.3.3 - its ath9k driver definitely supports that device ID.

owh. I see.. haha. sorry, I forget my version of puppy. in the end, I just mention 2.6.33 from command uname. I thought it's puppy version, but it's kernel version. omg. I must learn again since start,

Ok. I'll update to puppy slacko. btw, thanks all for the info.
