I also run puppy on an acer aspire
Personally I use either saluki or carolina vanguard. Both work well.

My preferrred install method is as follows:
Have a linux partition on the computer and a swap partition.
mount the iso for the appropriate puppy and copy the files to the linux partition - i put ...

I always liked Pnethood, but Carolina doesn't come with it.

It does have a great network discovery tool build into the file manager.

Have you clicked on "network" in XFE file manager in hte left panel?

Yes I agree Pnethood is great. I found a version in the Carolina Puppy Packet manager and ...

Hi
Just tried to set up Chrome portableusing the latest .deb stable file from the Chrome website.

When installing I get the following error:

Google Chrome Installer 0.7: fatal ERROR

Faled to extract

Ok so I tried it and no it doesn't recognise my wifi card.

I would try to compile a wo driver but can't find the downloads i need

Maybe LazY Puppy OS is a bit outdated for your wifi card. Probably L.A.S.S.I.E. will recognize it?

If not, a post in the hardware section probably will be much ...

Apologies for posting here and in the LASSIE thread. Wasn't sure which is the most current.


I am interested in LazyPuppy but wondered if it supports my wireless card. I often have problems with the Broadcom controller when trying new puppy variants.

I have used pNethoood with no problem on Saluki
It just connects straight away to the shared drive on our network

In Carolina Vanguard I get the attached error log saying it failed to mount.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Only just found this and can't wait to try it on my Saluki. Hopefully it will work on there it's a long time since I installed anything new.

Tried and tested on Saluki 023 and works a dream. Thank you Shinobar this makes a huge difference to Saluki and other puppies I think.

Update ...

Just want to thank everyone for their help and apologise for the length of my last post.

Update:

I worked out how to use the sfs manager to load the dev and kernal sfs files

I then worked out how to open the terminal in the right directors.

so far so good.

Now I used the make command and got the following output:

# make
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/3.18.1/build M=`pwd ...

On a Linux formatted partition or savefile (not ntfs or fat):

Download and extract source (will be in folder wl223.248-patched-k4)
Install both devx and kernel-sources for Carolina: Vanguard Edition Release 2 December 2014 (download ...

14e4:4727 is not supported by b43 driver and the warning is given "BCM4313 is not fully supported" for the brcm80211 driver.

So you probably do need the proprietary wl driver - which is kernel specific and I don't think has been compiled for the 3.18.1 kernel..... I can provide sources if ...

Update:
MD5 Checksum is good

Rebooted a number of times including with a save file - still fails to find my wifi network

Loaded and unloaded all the Broadcom drivers found under the network manager - none of them found my wifi connection

Frisbee and network manager both still say no Wifi ...

Didn't get a chance until now.
Reboot had no effect although I didn't create a savefile so not sure if that was necessary.

Output of lspci -knn when using Saluki - where my broadcom was always found by Frisbee:

Odd, I thought the Broadcom issue was resolved awhile ago. As Mike pointed out in the old post did a reboot resolve anything? Though I'm not sure why that would make a difference.

What's the model number for the Broadcom device?

Yes I thought I had read that the Broadcom issues were resolved ...

After using Saluki since its inception I thought I would finally give Carolina a spin.

Booted up beautifully and I love the look and feel. One major problem though is no wifi.

Booting Saluki my wifi network is found straightaway. On Carolina no such luck. Seems it can't see my Broadcom card ...

Hi shinobar.
Thank you so much for this portable Installer. I feel that this creation is an extremely important feature in puppy. I am using it since version 0.5 and it works great with puppy precise 5.7.1.
Finally I am able to get rid of Seamonkey which never worked for me.
Thanks again.

Only ...
