Realtek RTL8192CU drivers for various Puppies

#1 Post by WiZard »

This is the compiled usb wireless driver for Puppy 4.31, kernel 2.6.30.5, for devices with the Realtek RTL8192cu driver. This USB adapter is 802.11B/G/N and VERY small, less than 1/2" square, just about the same size as the USB connector it is attached to, also very inexpensive, I bought mine on Ebay for $6.50 US including shipping. They are great for adding wireless to laptops or desktops or for upgrading to 802.11N. They support WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption.

After the driver is installed, during the first setup, you will be asked if you want to add the driver to the list of devices that support WPA encryption.

I am using racy puppy 5.3.
Do I just download and run this PET?
If so, my usb wifi thumbnail dongle does not work with it.

I read somewhere else that it i might need the new driver from realtek site. Is that the case with this PET also ?

Really hoping to get this going. Appreciate any help out there.

Wifi drivers like this are kernel-specific, so one built for Puppy 431 won't work in Racy.

I don't know of anyone in the community who is building drivers for Racy, but there one available for Lupu here.

Thanks.
Installed lupu 5.2.8 after a bit of fuss as my old laptop would not boot 5.2.8 to boot off live cd (works for most other distros)
Ended up taking hd out of laptop, connecting to pc ide, installing it there.

Anyway, downloaded the lupu PET and all working. Just need to download flash now. The Getflash is not working.

Cheers.

Run the command lsusb and identify the vendor:product ID codes.

Also identify the exact name and model of your wifi adapter.

No reply? I guess it wasn't that important.

Please don't re-attach the same driver from a separate post on this forum.
The correct procedure is simply to provide a link to the relevant forum post.

[b]Puppy 2.6.25.16[/b] RTL8192CU works 4.2.1

#14 Post by Mayou »

Puppy 2.6.25.16 RTL8192CU works 4.2.1 puppy version on a laptop not new but not old . in fact wireless was better in old computer
Treasures are hidden in the depth of these vintage puppies. In fact i appreciate them much more than in the past. but RAM when a serious handicap. running them without caring of CPU temperature and number of applications loaded is a real freedom.
if there is a connection, of course.
Many thanks to people who are still here, keeping puppies 4.2.1 operating.

Why strange? Have you still not figured out how this driver situation works?

The only thing that's strange is your insistence on using an incompatible WiFi adapter and expecting other people to supply you with drivers, instead of buying a better adapter.

Slacko 6.9.6.4 has the software for my dongle.

#20 Post by Pelo »

Sure when 200,000 users download Puppy Linux they think they will have only to insert the CD or Pendrive..
only 200 of them are part of the forum
only 10 can compile drivers
Only rcrsn51 and Medor make their work available
Only one is the black duck : me.
:) Slacko 6.9.6.4 has the software for my dongle.. No need to beg.
