I have an hpc6400 laptop with 4 GB of RAM, 320 GB hard drive and a duo core 1.86 CPU
Computer has windows/7 dual boot with pclinuxOS. The wireless works fine on both platforms.
I boot puppy Linux slacko 5.7 from a USB drive, but cannot get the wireless to work. The wireless shows iwl3945. I used the YUM multi-boot manager on the windows platform (sorry) to create the USB stick. It allows me to boot several different versions of Linux from the USB stick
When using the simple network setup, it says wlan0 not found. It appears that I need to use the pet repository to get the driver for this card and install it.
I am not able to attach error logs at this time and I am sure that they would be helpful.
I also tried the other two network setup options with similar results. There is a switch on the laptop to turn on and off the wireless, but it is on.
The machine works fine with the wired internet connection.
I am using the non-PAE version of slacko.
Can you provide me with some ideas about how to resolve this issue?
Thanks, John

Hi...
Welcome to the forums
If your wireless chipset is internal (or onboard,) please open a terminal and post the output of...
or if it's a USB adapter...
Last but not least...
the portion that pertains to your wireless adapter.
Also, did you try using Frisbee to connect to your network?
Thanks!

Not a new issue. This is a hack, there are more elegant ways but try the following:jstrazza wrote:I have an hpc6400 laptop with 4 GB of RAM, 320 GB hard drive and a duo core 1.86 CPU

Create the following directory:
/lib/firmware/iwlegacy
Go to the following directory:
/lib/modules/all-firmware/iwlwifi/lib/firmware
Copy and paste the file iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode into the iwlegacy directory you created in the first step. (should also work if you just paste it into /lib/firmware).
Might need a reboot. Try it.
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

I saw a similar fix here but I wasn't sure that it would work in this case.
