wi-fi internet connection

#1 Post by gerryks »

I am trialling Puppy 4.2 on my Asus EeePC 4G using a USB memory stick. It all looks great except I can't connect to my router. Puppy isn't seeing any of the wi-fi signals in the area. I have a Netgear router with ethernet cable from a desktop computer so it's a permanent internet connection. I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 in my netbook and normally just click on the wireless icon to see a list of available connections enter the key and thats it.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

I suggest using a newer version of Puppy.
Puppy 4.2 probably does not have drivers for your hardware.

Try this version of Puppy.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

cjtron:

It would have been helpful to list your laptop model
when you posted.

We could have compared them to the OPs.
