Precise Puppy RC2, October 20, 2012
Sage. That NIC uses natsemi.ko module.
/lib/modules/3.2.28/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/natsemi/natsemi.ko
So....the driver has been included but it seems to have reputation of only partial support to the devices it should support. I am afraid there isnt solution. Or....someone should create better driver...and since that card seems to be at least 10 years old...the support might be not so expected.
The scyld seems to be the organization behind that support.
Modinfo in my dpup, but the natsemi info is generic.

Thanks Bary
beta 6 works nearly fine, but
audio bugs:
1/ http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=651953
2/ http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=80580
3/ enhancement suggestion
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=79829
Non US char errors in either copying or reading either on FAT or NTFS, no issues under WinXP or Win7
Names includes for instance : é è à ç or &
For instance, GNOME Player can't access those files.
Suggestion for laptop: a pop-up window when battery reach 9% and 3%, because I experienced the case to have a black-out (you don't necessarly notice the red battery indicator flashing).
I'll try again on next release.
Thanks

I have a testfile called ææøøøääööÅÅååÄÄ.JPG in ntfs partition.Names includes for instance : é è à ç or &
For instance, GNOME Player can't access those files.
It shows right in Precise Puppy 5.3.93 and also opens with Viewnior.
It looks like that it is accented character problem, not non US character problem.
For laptop usage with verbose warnings at certain battery state, vattery-acpitool with acpitool is the way to go...for instance. I had it in Upup Precise.
I didn't see one posted so here's my attempt at the 'amd fglrx' driver for precise.
I think i got everything and it seems to work.
I used the slacko driver as a template for making the .pet(includes the slacko pinstall / punstall scripts).
you can download here http://www.mediafire.com/file/x5vqjnski ... 3.2.28.pet 54mb

Posting as a reply to Barry's Beta 6 ....
Beta 6 destroys the wireless capability I've enjoyed with previous versions.
I've tried both the simple connection and the complex setup. Neither result
consistent connects. If I do get a "successful connect" report I sometimes
can't browse ... it behaves like a DNS lookup failure.
My old Linksys router does not offer WPA2 ... only the WPA Personal that
it's been set at ok for many years.

666philb. Thank you. Your ATI driver fglrx works great for me, with my difficult dual graphics. Usually I dont get stable graphichs and I need hard poweroff at sometime due to freezing. Now it seems to behave....and I get HDMI video outputted to my lcd TV and also....HDMI audio using ATI inbuild audio system !!! First time in my Puppy history I get HDMI audio...
Not bad....well...it means great.
Now I need to remaster this...which I usually dont do at all...so that I have this great HDMI friendly setup made permanent. I have already umplayer, smplayer, vlc, qt-4.8.2 installed.
Very promising.
Touchpad has the usual drunkenness as it has had with this Xorg version all the time. But wireless mouse should work ok.

Re: bold or normal
@tiangeng
Your 2 screen shots seem the same.
Your issue may be because of the GTK or JWM theme.
I tried fresh precise with wqy-microhei.ttf + my fontconf-local-1.0.pet, and found no problem.

I added "BOLD",I deleted "bold",it's ok.
Thank you very much.
Re: bold or normal
You also need to remove the dash(-) from 'Sans-12' so that the titlebar (of the windows) can show Chinese characters.tiangeng wrote:<MenuStyle>

The new SeaMonkey 2.12.1 pet appears to work fine. Thanks for the updated browser.

Did you find that seamonkey wouldn't compile against system cairo? Perhaps vpx too if yours isn't recent enough. Can you post the mozconfig please? It certainly has grown a few megabytes in the past couple of years and this version as against 2.11 grew over 1 M. (When I compiled in Slacko, the official mozilla version was smaller once I removed the modern theme).

UBUNTU MINT DEBIAN
Bonjour, Precise please me a lot, c'est à dire beaucoup. Good and safe.
I would like to say ' I dont like more Ubuntu than Windows !"
Too big, too slow, too 'your papers please' and boring.
Puppies are fast, efficient, and when I write here, i have answers.
So, keep puppies themselves, stop clothing them in ubuntu version x, or Mint. I have them on my hard disk. And i never use them.
OK, Boys ?

Sorry with my previous message, after reading your posts
But tell it to Puplettes makers.
I am using precise 5.2.60, all is ok. Wifi, sound, everything..
Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien : french proverbe
i.e sometimes wishing better is worse than the present.
Please keep oldest versions available. Merci beaucoup.

I had omitted a critical part of preference processing, breaking it. Thanks to peebee for pointing out the problem to me.
