How to use Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 USB wireless adapter?

#1 Post by starhawk »

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.

This is simple. I shouldn't still be wondering where to find my driver.

Do I need to look at another distro?

:x

Figured it out meself, after doing some research.

Blacklisted the following modules...

Code: Select all

rt2800usb
rt2x00usb
Loaded the following module...

Code: Select all

rt3070sta
Got the "Puppy5.1-WPA-hotfix.pet" from here...

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 997#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 :roll:

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