Hey, I need the driver mentioned in the title. Puplite5 does not give the "use WPA anyway" option for some reason... a way to set this manually would work fine. Looked in the Drivers section of the forum, and I didn't see a Puppy420 thread, or I woulda gone there. FWIW the driver is for a Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 USB wireless adapter. _________________  Last edited by starhawk on Sat 14 Apr 2012, 22:45; edited 1 time in total |

This is simple. I shouldn't still be wondering where to find my driver. Do I need to look at another distro?

Figured it out meself, after doing some research. Blacklisted the following modules...
Loaded the following module...
Got the "Puppy5.1-WPA-hotfix.pet" from here... http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=448997#448997 Turned it into a tarball, extracted the file, and dumped it in the appropriate place. Would've used PetGet except that Puplite5 is still Puppy420, and won't accept 5xx *.pet files... yes, I know about the Puppy5 compatibility button, but I can't use that until I get (wireless) networking going... The replacement file from that hotfix enabled me to have the little "override" button for WPA encryption... which I used. Problem solved. Thanks for everyone's help

Our wireless experts must have taken an unauthorized break yesterday. Their pay will be docked accordingly.  Thanks for posting the solution anyway.
