Here is an updated version of the Atheros/Attansic atl1e ethernet driver,
to add support for some additional AR8132/AR8152 chipsets.
Device ID's now supported by the driver:
1969:1026
1969:1062
1969:1063
1969:1066
1969:1067
1969:1073
1969:1083
1969:2060
1969:2062
This driver will overwrite the original atl1e driver in Puppy 4.3.x
After installing this dotpet, reboot.
The new driver should automatically load for compatible ethernet devices detected at boot up.
Just configure your ethernet connection in the Network Wizard.
This is vendor-supplied source code.
Kernels from 2.6.36 onwards should have the opensource driver updated to support these ID's.
Update: this driver is needed with
- Acer Aspire One D250 netbook (recent models)
- ASUS P5KPL-CM motherboard
Extras for Puppy 4.3 with 2.6.30.5 kernel

The "hostap" family of wifi drivers, for Prism 2.5/3 wifi chips, now requires a different WPA regime than used with previous kernels, and this needs updating in the WPA configuration file. Hotfix now attached.
Be aware, also, that Prism2.5/3 wifi devices may require an onboard firmware upgrade to make them WPA-compatible under Linux. See this post for details -

The Orinoco wifi chipset is a very early B-mode wifi device, generally well-supported in Puppy by the standard kernel drivers for PCI and PCMCIA variants.
But the very rare USB variants of this wifi device have only ever been supported by an experimental driver; orinoco_usb
orinoco_usb dotpet now attached.
I obtained the source code from
http://repo.or.cz/w/orinoco_usb.git

Hi all. I have an old OQO v01 that has the Atmel AT76C505A chipset and I can't seem to get it going with Puppy 4.3.1. Puppy doesn't detect it on boot and manually installing the module (at76c50x-usb) doesn't work either. Anyone with any ideas on how to troubleshoot this further? Thanks in advance for any help.

You would need to identify the wifi device ID.
Run this command -
and report the "Vendor" and "ProdID" values for your wifi device.
Run this command -
Code: Select all
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
