How to use Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 7440 wireless? (Solved)
Hi all.
I am using a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 7440 laptop.
There was a big bug about the wireless button. And here was the solution for Ubuntu:
http://fsam7440.sourceforge.net/index2.html
But in Puppy i couldnt do it. I dunno why? I am new at Puppy and lunix also.
I`ve did everything step by step and here they are:
1. Downloaded the driver. OK
2. When tried to use the command `make` i got this message:
Also there is another problem:
There wasnt a `build` folder in the /modules/2.6.37.6
I had to create an empty `build` folder to compile.
Hope i was able to explain the problem.
Shortly again: my wireless radio on/off button doesnt work. And cannot compile the driver file.
Thanx.

It looks like you are using Slacko. Here is a PET for you. However, the source code for this module is not 100% compatible with kernel 2.6.37.6, so I don't know if it will work.
Note the instructions:
I was confused by whether "0" means ON or OFF.
Note the instructions:
Code: Select all
To choose the state of the radio when the module is loaded you
can edit 'radio' parameter.
modprobe fsam7440 radio=0 (ON)
modprobe fsam7440 radio=1 (OFF)
Also you can change the state of the card edit /proc/fsam7440/radio
and view the state in this file:
echo 0 > /proc/fsam7440/radio (Turn OFF)
echo 1 > /proc/fsam7440/radio (Turn ON)
cat /proc/fsam7440/radio (View the state)
0 = OFF 1 = ON

Yep worked too.
I've added as:
Thank you again for everything. I've spent 6 hours yesterday to solve it. lol With your help it's been solved.
Btw, how did you created the "pet" file? Is there a document for this how to do?

How you did it?
Sorry, I have the same problem but i dont know how you did for wireless working. Can you tell me briefly how you did it?
I have installed the pet archive but when i try do: in console, i have a error: FATAL: Module fsam7400 not found.
My puppy linux version is: Lucid version 5.2.8
Thanks

My mistake. Slacko 531 was built with an older kernel. Slacko 533 now has k3.1.10. Here is the matching PET.mecmast wrote:Yes it's slacko. Nothing's changed about my computer. After failing with 5.3.3 i've installed 5.3.1 back again. The file worked. I guess something's changed about the 5.3.3.
