(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi, I need help. I bought BELKIN F7D2101 V1 USB WIFI for my old pc pentium3 coopermine, 512mb ram.
My Puppy is 0.52 528 kernel 2.6.33.2 (I tried last Slacko but the same)

I tried ndiswrapper with original cd, drivers for xp - but no conection, it recognized the stick usb: 050d:845a but no connection.

I tried Frisbee, but nothing....

Then I downloded 8712u-k2.6.33.2.pet on this forum, but the same problem, it recognized it but cannot connect. I think it is too old driver...

On my chip is written : rtl8192su

pls help...

I found this interesting page , I tried it on lubuntu , but I had to upgrade form 12.10 to higher. Then it works with 8712u driver, but not on this poor machine with puppy.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1509403

I tried to find some topics here on this forum, nothing works on my chip.
I downloaded drivers from Realtek page for linux, RTL819xSU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20120405.zip I tried to make, make install, but no success, I tried to instal compiler lupu_devx_528.sfs but Im not so good in linux to compile it, I dont know how.

Pls if anybody can help and give here pet file for this card...
thanks

Anyone can help me?...

I attached info from frisbee...

I have the same problem as OP and those links did nothing for me. Anyone has any solutions?

Hi...

Could you start a new thread describing your situation using the information shown here?

Thanks

The 050d:845a device is recognized by the r8712u driver in Slacko 56 with kernel 3.4.52. So any newer Puppy should be good.

And how would I go about to make my wary 5.5 recognize the device. Also do I need to download that specific driver from somewhere? I'm still pretty new to the whole linux experience

With great difficulty. The r8712u driver is a kernel module. Kernel modules are version-specific. You cannot take the Slacko56 file and drop it into Wary55, which has a much older kernel.

You would need to find someone with a Wary55 development environment and the source code to compile it for you.

It would be easier to try Slacko56.

you're right, I changed to Slacko and everything works way faster and better now. Thanks
