Am very happy to announce that beginning with Lucid 525 and 528, Puppy can see and configure my US Robotics PCI wireless adapter, model USR5416.
Ubuntu cannot see it, PCLinuxOS can not see it, Fedora cannot see it, Slackware cannot see it, but Puppy can, and it configures flawlessly using only the Simple Network Wizard. Very happy about this. Go PuppyLinux!! I have not tested Slacky with this adapter yet, but hopefully it will work as well. Puppies 3 and 4 could not see it.
Only Puppy can use my US Robotics PCI wifi adapter!

Probably because Puppy 5.25 and 5.28 contain the non-standard acx-mac80211 wifi driver, from here -TLM wrote:beginning with Lucid 525 and 528, Puppy can see and configure my US Robotics PCI wireless adapter, model USR5416.

... most likely because Slacko does not contain the non-standard acx-mac80211 wifi driver.
I had hoped my previous post made it clear that a third-party driver was involved with Lucid 525/528.
Third-party drivers are only available when individual developers choose to make them available.
Thus, if you want this driver for Slacko you will need to post a request in the Slacko forum-thread asking the Slacko developers to compile this driver.
