I went through the network wizard, and tried all the others, but to no avail. I tried manually configuring the IP, gateway, DHCP etc., but nothing.
I'm not sure what wifi card model (anybody know where i can find such info?) I have an HP DV9500T notebook from 2007.
Please help!
Cant get connection with HP DV9500T laptop? Puppy 5.2.5

It appears you have the notorious Broadcom wifi chipset. You will probably need the proprietary Broadcom wifi driver, compatible with Puppy versions 5.1 - 5.2.8 here -

Follow the instructions in that post carefully, especially the part about blacklisting the "ssb" driver.
