Just an average user here, nothing techy about this reply. Wife loves it. I put it on her machine back when mx-15 first came out. Full install to the hd, and have since progressed to the latest version mx-18+. We use it on an old e-machine, 32 bit dual core 4gb ram nothing special. This machine is a...

Glad to hear everything worked out for you.

I`ll probably get chastised for this suggestion since it is not based on troubleshooting the os. What I did after spending a month trying to troubleshoot a sound issue on a Puppy distro I loved was to purchase a external usb virtual 7.1 channel 3D audio sound card. Purchased off ebay cost 5 or 6 US ...

Hey Robert 123, thanks for jumping in. This is the first time I had found that specific Penguin support page for my adapter, and I also noticed the kernel needed, which is not the kernel I have on my cd. I also noticed on the left side of that support page there was mention of Debian also needing an...

Hey 8Geee, here is a link to Penguin that describes the specs: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/ ... pe-n150usb . On the right hand side of the page there is catagory, under it is the chipset AR9271.

Please disregard this thread, I ended up just getting a 30ft ethernet cable, and using that. It was a little bit of a hastle, but at least I have internet. Thanks to 8Geee, and anyone else that took time to look at this thread.

Regards

Hey 8Geee, thanks for the interest in my quandary. Yes, the ath9k drivers are there, but they specify pci wireless lan cards(in the load extra drivers area), not the usb I have, unless I am missing something, which at my age is always a possibility. I had actually went ahead and tried all of the Ath...

Good day to all. My project for today is to try to get my Penguin Linux usb wireless n adapter(Atheros AR9271) to be recognized by dpup 487 linux(kernel 2.6.30.5(i686). The Penguin adapter is known good, works with lxpup, and slacko(both recognized immediately). I know I need the driver, as dpup doe...

I`ve been running Firejail with Firetools for about a month now on a full install of mx-16 to hd on an old e-machines(single core/2gigs of ram) , and have found nothing to bitch about.

Kinda partial to MX-15, and 16 myself also. Have them running on 2 older emachines desktops, and one Dell Laptop, no problems.

Just an os you may want to consider. Antix M-16 (http://antix.mepis.org/index.php?title=Main_Page). I just installed it on 2 old emachines(desktops), one single core, one dual core, both with just average specs for their time period. The machines like it very well. I just ran the live dvd on an old ...

@rcrsn51: Finally after a month and a half of trying everything I could think of, except of course the exact pet package I needed for "my" kernel, my wireless is up and running(the cd that comes with those adapters with what they say are linux drivers is useless if you have Puppy). Using t...

Thanks for the reply MarcHoppe, yea, I removed and replaced the adapter at that prompt. I feel I will have an uphill battle with this one. Thanks again for the reply.

rcrsn51, thanks for the 570 driver, but I had no luck, so I ran the commands you gave me in your last reply, and with my adapter plugged in, running the commands, there are no adapters listed, no error msgs, and no list of wireless networks. I mean even if I had a wrong driver for my kernel, wouldn`...

rcrsn51, I downloaded the pclos code, installed it, and ran Frisbee. Frisbee scans for available networks, but does not find my wireless. Unless I am missing something, I guess this one is not for me.

I have a couple of those adapters I purchased a month ago, that use the Realtek-RTL8192EU driver. I didn`t use the drivers disk, I got my drivers from this link: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/reserve-7 (on the right side of the page) No problems installing to Ubuntu 14.04, Eleme...

It also has that privacy mode like FF, click on the menu gear at the top right, then New Incognito window.

I ended up having to drop FF because of the freezing, and switching to FlashPeak Slimjet. Haven`t had a problem since.

3 years on a full install of elementary os to hd(nothing else on the drive, 1 partition ext4), with no problems on a Lenovo dual core(amd 64 Athlon X2), 2 gig ram, 32 inch monitor. Has always done what I ask of it, and has never balked. Has always recognized, and worked with all the peripherals I ha...

Exact same symptoms as you have RetroTechGuy on my E-Machines dual core / 2gig ram / running a full install to hd Ubuntu 14.04(Elementary), using FF 41.0.2. Also agree, started a while back, may be V.39 or so. For me about the time Youtube refused to use Flash because of the security concerns, after...
