Grumbling: >>>
B43 Broadcom.
Have we ever heard of this nightmare??
Most of our devs have squashed this.
Except Precise Puppy 5.4.
When we are downloading a Puppy of this size
expectations are that maybe this time, wireless will work.
What is one of the biggest whinges here on Murga..
Wireless...
time and time again.
And the help participation rate on the forum
has been a bit lax lately.
No digs here.
Some really useful advice as always.
People who go out of there way to help.
But people have a life.....need a break etc.
The fact is that most newbies downloading Puppy
won't know we offer other Puppies or Puplets that have fixed
this issue.
And there is plenty of Broadcom hardware out there.
So onto the forum they will arrive.
With the lovely Vista....what a combo.
And why is there no Frisbee alternative??
Have it in the menu under
network as a Pet file.
As in other Puppies.
Click on it and it installs.
jemimah did sterling work with Pwireless2 and Frisbee.
Even the Saluki last releases fixed my wireless woes.
Personally I wouldn't touch Dell if you paid me.
But the price was right....Zero...
and I'm glad I've been able to hunt down this issue.
""""""""
Why do I often cite this >> pemasu release,
as my pick for wifi problems???.
DpupExprimo5X327
because it's just so good with Broadcom chipsets.

Why not Frisbee.....for wireless.????

" Chris,
Seems to be some weird doubling up of some firmwares
try this in the terminal
Code:
rm /lib/modules/all-firmware/b43/lib/firmware/b43/*
Reboot
If that fails, I'm compiling the proprietary driver for broadcom known as "wl". I'll post a pet later.
Cheers "
