I have version 3.00 running on this Sony PCG-431L. I remember it was a pain to install due to the PCMCIA DC drive. There were various boot parameters that I do not remember and now cannot find on the forum. So, a couple questions: 1. Does anyone remember the boot parameters that will make this run t...

My wife just won an iPod Shuffle. I can put stuff on it using my laptop with gtkpod and Fedora 6. Since her machine is smaller, she's running Puppy Linux. gtkpod can't find the iPod. I suspect it has to do with Puppy not automounting the usb drive while Fedora 6 does. Is this correct? What do I do t...

Just installed puppy 3. Clicking browser on the desktop gives a brief hard drive flash, but does not open the browser. Clicking email DOES open sea monkey email. I can then use the window menu to open the browser. This worked properly on the previous version (2.17 or something like that). I copied t...

I just got an Airnet AWN154 pcmcia card working using ndiswrapper and the xp drivers on the CD that comes with the card on Puppy 3.00 .

I haven't tried the upgrade yet, so I don't know. The entire drive is devoted to Puppy Linux (no windoze). It'd be nice if the puppy installer on the desktop could just download and install the upgrade like it does with other puppy packages, but I haven't seen anything about that. I'll go ahead and ...

I currently have 2.71 installed on the hard drive and now see that 3.00 is available. Before I download it, is there documentation somewhere on how to do the upgrade? Can it be done over the network with a pup install? Or, is there an upgrade option (as opposed to install) on the CD from ISO? I'd li...

Trying the new Realtek driver with the M1 version of the DWL-650 behaves the same as when I tried it under nidswrapper. It found the local networks, but when I started DHCP, the machine crashed. So, I'm back on the A1-J3 version, which the bootup code finds on the pcmcia. SOMETIMES it works perfectl...

Thanks! I'll give that a try. Meanwhile, the old DWL-650 (D-Link identifies it as DWL-650 Revisions A1-J3 on their website. I can't read the label on the bottom of the card, as it's too scratched) seems to be working with the new driver you supplied. I'll try both, though.

THANKS!

In my continuing effort to get my wife's Sony notebook to reliably connect to our wireless network, I last night installed orinoco0.13e16-k2.6.21.5.pet . So far, so good! Several reboots have properly brought up the network.

THANKS!

Harold

I went ahead and tried NDIS wrapper with a more recent DWL-650 (V.M1). I used the driver for pciid: 10ec:8180 (ftp://ftp.targetgroup.it/digicom/comuni/driver/PalladioWaveC/PalWavC__WIN.zip). Both the network wizard and RutilT properly scan and find networks, but, on both of them, when I tell them to...

THANKS for all the help (and doing the forum search). I've gotten the DWL-650 to connect to the WEBP encrypted network sometimes, but most times it does not. Looking at /var/log/messages, and comparing between a successful boot startup of the card and the nonsuccessful start, I see the unsuccesful o...

Great! Where is it posted?

THANKS!

Harold

Thanks for the response! When running network/RutilT, I get "Critical error: Can't get scan results: code 61". I'm running version 2.17. released August 2007 (according to Help). I wonder if I can mess with the startup script (wherever it is) and run various different commands to get it to...

I'm working on getting Puppy Linux working on my wife's Sony Viao PCG-SR-27. I've done the hard drive install and am writing this from that machine, using the DWL-650. Using the "Connect to internet using network interface" menu, I can connect to open access points, but not to our WEP encr...

I did a re-install of Puppy Linux, and things are definitely better! I can run the network wizard thingee, scan for networks, and connect. But, when I tell the system to use that the next time it boots, it seems to mess up. In fact, it messes up badly enough that the network wizard won't find anythi...

Yep, done that! Set the channel, the SSID, and the WEP key. I've got a couple WAPs at home, one running WEP, the other open. Could not connect to either. I'll mess with it some more tonight. THANKS for the help!

Harold

This is a DWL-650 that is maybe 10 years old. I've used it under Red Hat and Fedora with no trouble (and without ndiswrapper). I'll dig in to this a bit more tonight and post the error messages, if any. Using the standard Puppy Linux setup, it LOOKS like it's connecting to my network (boot screen sa...

Has this been fixed in version 2.17? I'm having trouble with ah DWL-650 card.

Thanks!

Harold

I just set up a Sony Vaio notebook on Puppy Linux. Very impressive! I'm using a dLink DWL650 (I think that's the number) wireless card, which Puppy Linux recognizes properly. During bootup, I see it the card getting initialized, and the LED on the card goes on steady, just as it does when there is a...
