No network interface

[Lady]

I have bought a new laptop with the following chipset:

AMD M780 G

And now Puppy doesn't find the interface for the internet.
Puppy has no module for my chip

Please can you help me ??

Thanks a lot

Marion, it's technically necessary (and courteous) to reveal the version of Puppy you are using, as well as the exact details of your hardware. What's the brand/model of laptop?

Better still, run this command and post the results -

Code: Select all

lspci -n

I'm working with Puppy 4.0 and have the following ethernet controller:

Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Fast Ethernet

Thanks

I have installed both pets, then reboot, but the new drivers
cannot be find on the list of modules.

Yes, a recent version of the Attansic/Atheros driver is what you need.

I'm working with Puppy 4.0

There's your problem. Get a recent version of Puppy and it will have the right driver.

Try Here
"Extras for Puppy 4.3 with 2.6.30.5 kernel"
atl1e-1.0.0.11-test.pet
atl1e-1.0.0.10.pet

I have installed both pets then reboot, but the new drivers cannot be find on the list of modules.

Of course those drivers won't work with Puppy 4.0. Puppy 4.0 has the 2.6.21.7 kernel, which is totally incompatible with the 2.6.30.5 kernel in Puppy 4.3.

I use Puppy 4.3.1

First Puppy detected a network interface.
I configure it (DHCP) and save the configuration.
But I couldn't go in the internet.

The I reboot Puppy and now Puppy don't find the ethernet interface, only wireless.

I try to load the modules atl1 c and atl1e, but without success.
Puppy don't find the ethernet interface.

I'm really unhappy and don't know what to do ??
