But for http://www.pcidatabase.com/vendor_details.php?id=1659
0x1083

Chip Description: 1083

I don't have , just

bash-3.00# modinfo atl1c

So i would do a

Code: Select all

modprobe -l | grep atl

to check if atheros ?lan? drivers are available .

First of all, run the command "lspci -nn" and determine the [vendor:product] ID codes for this device. Is it [1969:1083]?

I don't have a copy of Slacko 531. But I checked in 533 and it appears to support this device using the atl1c module.

Here are the info (Slacko 5.3.2.9)
=== NETWORK ===

Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030
KERNEL MODULE: iwlagn
KERNEL MODULE: iwlagn
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Device
KERNEL MODULE: atl1c
KERNEL MODULE: atl1c

All distros have the cable connection, Slacko 5.3.3 and its puplets, Lucids 5xxx and their puplets, Dpup exprimo, even the older ones. I think there is a module to load.
I was using and enjoying Slacko 5.3.2.9 since yesterday, safest than 5.3.3.

I dont understand 5.3.1 was also working well until now. It is incredible. Perhaps due to the USB trade mark ? but I was running Slacko 5.3 previously on this material. I Dont know.

In Lucid 528, your [1969:1083] device is handled by the atl1e module. In newer Puppies, it has changed to the atl1c module. It looks like a few Puppies in between, such as Slacko 531, don't support it at all.

Slacko was really a light Puppy.. my 5.3.1 and 5.3.2.9 in action to day.
remasterized with drivers ethernet and wireless.
And with desktop from the past, when Puppies Were so nice.
Even with drivers, 127 MB is called light nowadays.. Sure Seamonkey must be renewed.. But it will be done in the session and slackosave, not inside the ISO.
Drivers atl1c and atl1e are 78k . The 15mb delta comes from backgrounds and themes imported from an old Puppyrus 4.2..
