Thank you, at least I'm starting to get somewhere now. :) I loaded the module as described above, then I blacklisted b43 because it was showing errors upon booting puppy 4.3b3. I wasn't able to get any scan results until I loaded another module: modprobe lib80211_crypt_tkip Then upon next reboot, bl...

Edited, problem solved It now boots fine. :) Linux Mint wants to name the partitions "sda" Linux Mint also updated my Grub file last week. (Maybe this is why the other Puppy '4xx' versions wouldn't detect my hard drive) Puppy uses the partition named as "hda" I changed my menu.l...
