Lenovo g 780 WLAN connection unstable

#1 Post by sayhello_to_the_world »

good day der Puppy experts hello to all linux-experts here,

to begin with the beginning; i am a big big big Puppy-fan. I love it.

Some days ago i created a Desaster-Recovery-System with linux. And i am pretty sure that Puppy does a pretty well job in this area.

today i have another problem: the notebook lenovo g 780 runs windows 8 and is not very stable.the WLAN connecgtion is not very stable _ despite the fact that it is very very close to the router .


btw: several linux-notebooks (opensuse) which are running under the same condition do not have any problem


want to load a new driver - but which one is corrcet?

to sume up: lenovo g 780 WLAN connecgtion in-stable: which driver is needed?

how to find out which driver is needed?

Hi....

Please open a terminal and post the output (for network and ethernet) of this command...

Code: Select all

lspci -nnk | grep -i net -A2
This should tell us what chipset your adapter is using. :wink:

Regards...

... also it's REALLY REALLY helpful to tell us the Puppy version you're running.

I'm betting it will be the age-old problem of Puppy failing to add firmware for new drivers.
