rt2800 is unlikely to work.... only the sta for these devices....

I find that weird rt2800 is listed in 543 as driver being used but 528 doesnt see it when it is forced loaded & booted from cold.

As for the sta drivers t see's the wireless card & the networks but cant pass thru.

I think I ...

cannot have rt5370sta rt2800 as they will conflict...the sta is self contained and does not want any rt2800 related drivers loaded.

So i removed rt5370sta from machine so it cannot interfere.

rt2800usb is loaded but do not see wireless card in connect, driver is loaded because I forced to ...

mikeb I see I wasn't clear the last post.that was the tenda311 working in 543 on gateway
So tonight I booted into 528 on same gateway I enclosed a file with all the testing
basically 311 will see the wireless but cannot get on internet weird.
But if I reboot & use wlan0 machine intel wireless card I ...

If you can start with a fresh save file do so and use the standard wifi wizard.... otherwise you will be hand picking out stuff and i don't think you are into doing that or indeed where to start since this stuff gets scattered all over.

Ok so on this machine Gateway, I have this set up with ...

For the heck of it I have another laptop by gateway, I plug this usb adapter that is linux ready & works fine no software. Puppy Precise 5.4.3 kernel 3.2.29.
So get a thought USB flash drive with PP, boot in toshiba & I can get it to work I blacklist eth 0 & wlan 0 reboot & ra0 can see ...

ndiswrapper 135277 0

broadcom 4286 0

Ok not sure where the broadcom comes in but worth checking perhaps.

More relevant is ndiswrapper which would very likely interfere with any other wifi driver present.

Its probably a leftover from other attempts (it would ...

So this weekend I purchased new w311mi says linux on package so were good right well not so good. Cannot see but in lsusb it is there as 148f:5370 I downloaded the driver pet for ra5370 & now I see the device & see the wireless but fails to connect. GREAT! Frustrating to say the least.
I had ...

"I didn't quite understand from what you were saying why you couldn't use your onboard adapter."
The on board works fine but a bit slow & seems to hang at times in Puppy & seeing the new adapter in windoz & the speed it has well i would love to have a faster & more stable connection. My son had me ...

[quote="ardvark"]Hi...

From what I'm finding online, it looks like your USB adapter is not compatible with Linux. Please see here and here, although I'm not sure why the ID numbers don't match up, though.

I think your right but it is relatively new hardware.

But I'm curious, why not just use ...

Hello all reading, trying to get this device to work ...

S W E E T, worked like a charm. I rebooted for the good measure effect.

python lib was libpython2.5.so.1.0 but still works.

Thank you Patriot, now my daughter can take this comp to college with Puppy 1st boot Ubuntu 2nd, & in 3rd place windozzzzzz vista the sleeper.

Now to convert my ...

Patriot
Ok Thank you for your time & help, I would like to learn the process of the how to do things after all I am in it to learn as well so take your time & get a handle on it.
best regards

BTW in 8.04 I never got to desktop
on the 4.2 retro it didn't go far & either was a kernel thing or it just ...

Since you're running standard kernel (k2.6.25.16) then you'll have to wait until this weekend if you want the latest alsa-1.0.20 binary set as I'm having some hectic days right now ... Not a problem I can wait . I been doing some research on this alsa thing & found something in ubuntu http ...

The Alsamixer can be accessed via the desktop "console" icon.

Have you try the headphone jack, my acer has the icon & no sound unless I plug into head phone jack. If you do get sound it has something to do with alsa but I am not sure, I am a novice by all means to some of the folk here.But that ...

Patriot
here is what all those codes produced see attachment, like you suggested.

Hi all
Alsa see's card but no sound out of speakers with 4.2 standard, retro wont boot off cd, machine is a amd athalon 64 frugal install.Card identified as realtek 272 in alsa mixer in menu.

Usb flash drive 3.01 will boot but no sound as well.

Ok after banging head for several days & trying many ...

Hi all,got this dell dimension 2350 2.0 celeron 384 ram with onoard video the problem is with onboard video I can only use xvesa but at lowest size 640x480 16. So I figure well just add a video card,another snag no place in bios to turn off onboard video.I however found bios was A00 & info about A02 ...

For a toshiba satellite a75 s213 laptop running alsa finds sound card & it works but you must xrestart to get speaker icon on taskbar then unmute in puppy sound mixer. However when you reboot it looses its settings that it is suppose to save.

alsa chose snd-atiixp


This is what worked for me
/etc ...

I have sort of the same problem as you, it seems after you get the sound to work & the sound icon on taskbar it will not save it for the next reboot. Mine is snd-atiixp from what alsa says, I tried modprobe from terminal but doesnt work, also put into rc.local but still a hassle to get sound ...

Making the iso with everything on it seems a waste if some one will not be using those apps.
That is why the regular puppy does not do this. There are a few choices, yes. But nowhere near what is provided in larger distributions of Linux. We are discussing a specific customised version of puppy ...
