pwirelss2 problem looks to be the similar as for upup458 discussion starts here
temp solution by jemimah was to run

[tronkel]

As aarf pointed out in the last post, a work-around from Jemimah is to run /etc/init.d/Pwireless2.

On running this script from its folder location, I noticed that its permissions were set to non-executable, so fixed that in ROX and Pwireless2 ran fine.

I'm not sure just how feasible this would be to implement, but it would be ice cool if Pwireless2 could check for a plugged-in or hot-plugged usb wlan device and then offer to connect it. Maybe a UDEV event could be used to detect this.

If say Pwireless2 was being used on a netbook or laptop where the device is already built in, would also be cool if the boot script could detect the presence of such a device and then pop-up a dialogue just after boot time that offers to connect it - a la Ubuntu.

LOL I don't want much do I?

I tried Q008 on my Acer Aspire 5100.

Similar probelms noted as reported earlier in this thread about WiFi connection wizards i.e. Jemimah's Pwireless2 message-box appears showing only "no interfaces detected" but Dougal's Network wizard worked ok.

But even though I had a working Internet connection e.g Google search worked, SM refused to load my Yahoo home page http://my.yahoo.com/. Needless to say its ok in 431 etc.

Ok,

Pwireless thing already mentioned and solution.

I run an rt73 Ralink compat usb wireless device and it seems very flakey with the kernel. I can say this because I also bullt a ppup from the latest woof with the latest kernel. So, in that respect not a quirky problem. Possibly a "conglomerate" ( ) network wizard problem. By flakey i mean that it is fast as a rocket for a minute or two, and then seem down for five minutes, then seem back to full performance for awhile, then drops off again. Very unusual. The wife is running Quirky-006 concurrently with absolutely no issues on Facebook so I know it is not a router issue, incidently she has the exact same model USB wireless adapter.

However, in the network wizard (Dougal version) I scan, my essid is detected, I choose (wep), all good... (save of course), I "use" and the gtkdialog progressbar hits 100% and stops, then the gui comes up saying "puppy can't find network.. bla bla" so I hit "test wlan0" (which indicates the interface is fine) and the progress bar barely reaches 20% and I get the "'Puppy was able to find a live network' You can proceed to acquire an IP address" message. I get the IP and connect.

Sorry, haven't looked further than this but as I mentioned it may be a kernel issue with my particular module.

Pwireless2 doesn't detect my wireless device (ipw2100) in my R40 Thinkpad, while the netw wizard does.

I was rather perplexed by the new integrated wizard (I have ethernet)
In the end Dougals worked OK
The BK wizard did not - not sure if that helps any tweaking . . .

My AtI Radeon HD 4350 Graphic card worked OK
and by dragging the latest xaraLX sfs into the Menu / utility / sfsConvert
I was able to use XaraLX
