I picked up a used HP Elitebook that has one of these Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300's in it. I've been using Slack0 5.6 & 5.7 & it works pretty well. Uses the iwlwifi driver. Sometimes it's slow to connect to an unencrypted signal when using Frisbee, but after a connection is made, seems alright.

NetGear N900 (WNDA4100) USB wireless dongle works in all Puppies with late kernels. Fatdog64-700a1; Slacko64-5.9.1; Tahr-5.8.3 all found the N900 out of the box. Others may work as well, I just didn't get around to trying them.

Ubiquiti SWX-SRX and SR71 both worked for me nicely on slacko 6.

Got this o.n s.a.l.e (even cheaper than listed)

EDIMAX EW-7811Un N150 USB 2.0 Wireless nano Adapter
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833315091

Works in Win7 (using provided driver from CD -- not automagic)

Works under Puppy 5.28 (using the XP driver from CD, and windows wrapper).

(my internal card failed and was replaced with this -- in addition to low external profile, the heat coming from my Win7 laptop dropped substantially -- apparently the internal card was shedding lots of heat -- didn't check for shorts in it yet...)

Excellent -- thanks for this.

I just downloaded the latest Slacko 5.7 and it doesn't see my TRENDnet usb. Will probably be ordering one of the edimax's today.

Puppy asked me to confirm as it is not on the list as being wpa compliant so being a good "master" I am here to say it works fine on my wpa-tkip network
(I haven't tried it with a hidden network yet)

There are several versions of your TRENDnet TEW624UB, based on different chipsets. But they should all be detected by Slacko 5.7. So I suspect that the problem is with firmware, which often occurs in Slacko.

Plug in the adapter and run the command: lsusb.

Identify the vendor:product ID codes. They may be 0bda:8174 or 20f4:624d.
