It's called Dougals Network Wizard in this case.

No I didn't say I was using frisbee.FeodorF wrote:Wait a minute - you are saying you are using 'Frisbee'. How do you try to login to your wifi source? How does your 'Frisbee' window look like? Does it look like this on?
How old is the machine? I had an old dongle that I concluded would suck too much on the USB, then shut off... It would work in machines that could supply enough power, not in others...very weird...hilfer wrote:No I didn't say I was using frisbee.FeodorF wrote:Wait a minute - you are saying you are using 'Frisbee'.

On network wizard there are 3 options:
one of them is "frisbee", but I tried them all.
The problem is that none of them detects my dongle.
That's the same USB device ID I mentioned earlier. So it appears the driver is failing.hilfer wrote:8178 realtek semiconductor corp.
Well if you do a frugal installation, as opposed to full HD installation, then multiple vesions of Puppy can coexist on the same partition ... you just need to be a little careful about the last installation step where the grub bootloader is installed - the grub configuration file needs to be updated, rather than completely overwritten. I perform this step manually, so I'm not the best person to explain it to a newbie.hilfer wrote:So if I understood right I have to install a new puppy version Lucid 5.2.8 ?
This will remove previous version slacko precise 5.7.1 ,right ?
Code: Select all
mv /lib/modules/all-firmware/rtlwifi/lib/firmware/rtlwifi /lib/firmware
Ok I'm trying to do that right now, but I can't past the command into the console.Wait ... I see that the Realtek wifi drivers require firmware, which recent Puppies already contain, and these firmware files should be automatically relocated to the correct directory when the rtl8192cu driver is first loaded. But I suspect this relocation process has failed.
So hilfer, if you still have Precise installed, you may be able to fix this problem by running this command -
Code:
mv /lib/modules/all-firmware/rtlwifi/lib/firmware/rtlwifi /lib/firmware
Note in particular the space near the end before "/lib/firmware"
Now reboot, and run the Network Wizard - you may be surprised.
To copy and paste out of the urxvt terminal you'll have to use a three button mouse.hilfer wrote:Ok I'm trying to do that right now, but I can't past the command into the console.
Is the copy/paste not supported on the console ??
Yes I can see rtlwifi there - inside there is 1 file named rtl8192cufw.bin.tempestuous wrote:OK, that means that the firmware has probably copied into place correctly.
To be sure, use ROX to browse to /lib/firmware/rtlwifi and check that this firmware file -
rtl8192cufw.bin
is definitely there.
If so, that's a good thing, but the driver is still failing, and your best option is still to use Lucid 5.2.8 with the vendor-supplied driver that I provided.
Also, in the newer Puppy systems (certainly true in 5.28) you can copy the text from your browser, then use the "edit" menu bar tool on the command window (which has a "paste" function)bigpup wrote:Right and left mouse button pressed at same time, does the same as pressing the middle mouse button.
