mine is BCM4313 and wl module loaded. BTW noticed in frisbee's "Manage Saved Networks" tab encryption type TKIP but my wify network is WEP. can anybody tell where can I change encryption type in frisbee. OR is it better to install another networkmanager? SNS(simple network setup by BK)even does not see wl's network interfaces. Thanks in advance.

strange thing wl works fine on slackos and precises after rebooting [networkwizard+frisbee]no problems though my driver should be brcmsmac or brcmfmac (THANKS PEEPBEE). the thing is I only wanted to work without rebooting with wifi to bee true live(on my laptop,at least, for experiments).love "drunken puppyes" (puppy+wine). will continue "spoiling" my pup .

[for_wov]

no more 'wl' modules in my system/precise-5.6.1/ REFUSED wl from networkwizard (my first but not last networkmanager to wifi and net /
launch it automatically at first then others. SNS (AFTER networkwizard) shows nothing in wlan section but SEES &CONNECTS (and no reconnects at intervals) to my network (wpa for sure sory for missleading ) No more experiments/ time to work. thanks to all

Here is the delta pet for Raring Puppy "5.7alpha2" with kernel 3.9.5

Load the attached delta pet

then load the multi-kernel pet

then reboot

[peebee]

I've compiled a version of the wl driver for Slacko 5.6Alpha1 with kernel 3.10 non-pae

see:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=712922#712922

This version uses patches found by pemasu + the "wlan" patch.
see: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl/?comments=all

As k3.10 non-pae may not be used in the final Slacko5.6 this compile is a "proof of concept" experiment for now.

Attached, please find the delta for Slacko 5.6 with non-pae kernel 3.4.52

It should be installed as follows:

Load the attached delta pet

then load the multi-kernel pet

then reboot

The full pet for building into an iso is at:

Please forgive my ignorance-does broadcom- wl drivers include iwlwifi from puppy slacko 5.6? I suspect it does but don't know. It may provide a solution for me wherein I cannot yet obtain WPA/PSK encryption on an Intel 5100 wireless adapter. I will read more of the posts and experiment.

Toshiba satellite M300 [i686-32bit]
Intel 5100 wireless adapter
ET T45T mob fone [Android 4.x]
slacko 5.6, kernel 3.4.52 PAE #1 SMP WED july 1010:53:04 EST 2013
full install
driver: iwlwifi

WEP encryption avail in PC, but not in fone,

if an upgrade will fix it, pls advise.
WPA/PSK/Txxx " fone " PC

9 local networks detected by frizbee-have to use open connection or cable.

I have a Lenovo B490 laptop & it has a broadcom wireless Lan. The chipset as reported by Linux Mint 16 is BCM 43142 & it works with the wl driver. Using the same computer with Puppy Linux Precise 5.6.1 & 5.7.1 the chipset is reported as BCM 4365 & it does not work with the wl driver. I have tried all the three options in the connection wizard with no detection of the hardware. I have even loaded the wl module manually with no positive results. Please help.
