I've just done a frugal install of Puppy 4.1.1 on an old Thinkpad 1200 with a D-Link wireless G card (RaLink RT61 chipset, rt61pci driver). Files saved in /sda1/puppy411.
The Wizard scans for my network successfully, then after I supply the passphrase, it fails to connect. Looks like the passphrase is getting lost. The error dialogue reads 'Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open : No such file or directory'.
Similar problem with the old network wizard, but no error message.
Still works OK booting from the version in /sda1/puppy410. That's what I'm using right now...

4.1.1 wireless glitch
This may be the same problem as above. I'm now using 4.1.1 k2.6.25.16 on my Dell Latitude D600 (1.4 GHz 1.25 GB no hard drive) with an ra2500 mini pci wireless card. Everything appears to work when I set up wireless, but blinky never appears.
My work around is as before: I use the wizard to load firmware, then use Pwireless to scan and connect. This is being posted from 4.1.1 on the machine mentioned.

Copied to a different thread
I've copied this to the 'Improved Network Wizard (and rc.network)' thread:

Prehistoric, you might want to do the same.

False alarm - corrupt download
My mistake, I didn't check the MD5...
