How to get USB arvast WN 220 wifi to work?
Hi all,
sorry for my english, i'm french^^
I installed puppy 2.13 on my laptope. Everything work perfectly except the sound and the wifi^^
To connect my laptope to internet, i use a usb key arvast WN220
But when i click on connect, i choose connect to internet by network interface, and in "interfaces" there is: "puppy does not see any active ethernet interfaces"
And on driver modules, i don't fond the good driver
Have you got an idea to help me? Wifi with linux is too complicate for a stupid french like me lol
Thanks a milion all^^

I think your device contains the Prism3 chipset. For USB devices this chipset is supported by the linux-wlan-ng driver "prism2_usb". It's quite likely that Puppy will automatically load this driver, run "lsmod" to check if it is listed. If not, you can load it manually like this -
modprobe prism2_usb
This driver uses a unique configuration utility, so the Network Wizard cannot be used. Setup instructions for this driver are here http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/drivers- ... README.txt

Just a question, i don't understand the last sentense :
Cause when i write "/root/my-applications/bin/linux-wlan-connect"
I have for answer
thanks again
Is that mean if i don't create this script i'll lost my connexion for the next reboot?A script is provided with these commands; /root/my-applications/bin/linux-wlan-connect
Just modify the script to include your wireless settings.

wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_hostwep decrypt=true encrypt=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=true
wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0

Oops ... this script is only available if the old driver dotpup was installedA script is provided with these commands; /root/my-applications/bin/linux-wlan-connect
Just modify the script to include your wireless settings.
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Wifi/drivers- ... -0.2.5.pup
... but don't install this, because it's the driver for older versions of Puppy.
Let's create a new script now:
start a new document in geany. The first line needs to be this -
#!/bin/sh
Now add all those setup commands. Save this document, call it whatever you want - let's say "moi-wifi" in /root/my-applications/
Now we need to make the script executable, so do this -
chmod 755 /root/my-applications/moi-wifi
Now you can either run this script whenever you want to connect, or if you want to connect EVERY TIME you boot up, add "/root/my-applicaionts/moi-wifi" to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local
And a reminder; do not use the Network Wizard.
