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 -

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

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 ?? Sad
