networking with lenovo X230i & puppy lucid 528 [HALF SOLVED]
Hello
I don't see eth0 and wlan 0 on this computer ... lenovo x230i
Only l0
With windows7 I see intel (R)82579LM for eth0
and intel ( r ) centrino (r ) advanced -N 6205 for wlan0
What have I to do for detecting the interfaces with puppy ?
whan I put a usb wifi dongle I see its and I can connect with its but after a few seconds I lose the connexion and it is not possible to see the interface after ...
Why ?
Thanks for your help .

" The short answer is that the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN
does work "out of the box" under Linux,
at least with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS where it was tested.
After installing the PCI-E x1 WiFi card and attaching the antenna,
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the Linux 3.2 kernel was booted.
To some surprise, everything worked just fine, including WPA/WEP!
There was not any dealing with out-of-tree wireless driver, no ndiswrapper, no fiddling with firmware, or any other headaches. It just worked!"

The driver code is not in Linux kernel yet.
Instructions for our gurus there though.

No no no .. sigh.
Rerwin's updated Lucid variants still have the same 2.6.33.2 kernel.
The only Puppy Lucid 5.2.x derivative with a more modern kernel is 5.2.9 "Three Headed Dog" ...
but I think some people here are missing the point - the original poster is wanting to get their Intel 6205 wifi device working under the "Asri 300" French derivative based on Lucid 5.2.8.
Any driver which might work with a different kernel is (obviously) non-applicable to Asri 300.

You should download Three-Headed Dog 5.2.8.005 Updated APR 25 2012 and boot with it to make sure it finds your networking adapters. If it does and you post a download link for ASRI300 I will be happy to switch kernels for you. Or you can do it yourself as outlined here How to switch kernels between Puppy versions. It has kernel 2.6.37.6 which sounds like it should work.

Yep, that will work ... but once you make the effort to do a kernel transplant, it's feasible to go all the way -jrb wrote:You should download Three-Headed Dog 5.2.8.005 ...

why not the 3.10.5 kernel from Slacko-5.6?
But if alaindu22 (who has been oddly silent through all of this) chooses to try Three-Headed Dog, there's still the issue of compatible firmware - the Intel 6205 requires firmware: iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode
I just booted to my Three-Headed Dog CD now, and I can confirm that its version of the Intel iwlagn driver definitely supports this firmware, as confirmed by the output of -
Code: Select all
modinfo iwlagn
Get it here -
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dri ... 68.5.3.tgz
Once uncompressed, it needs to be located in /lib/firmware

kernel 3.0.25 is perfect for all Puppy Lucid

Lucid superlupu 528-006 should work

Switch the kernel to 3.0.25 (Racy 5.3) does it too.
