How to use USB Wi-Fi adapter in Precise Puppy?

[karunakaran]

To have Wi-Fi connectivity in desktop I purchased a USB Wi-FI and the cataloque specified 'can be used with Linux'. (WD04, Live Tech)

Driver file is here http://live-tech.in/uploads/pdt-drivers/43/bwqjd2iz.rar

How to make this driver as a pet?

You should first see if Frisbee (or equivalent like Simple network) will load an existing compatible driver).
This will work most of the time with Slacko or Precise

You need the kernel sources as well as devx package to be installed.
ibiblio site should have these listed if Barry Kauler made the distro.

This is Precise puppy so it may not have up-to-date drivers.
If you can get the name of driver somebody may have already compiled it.
