Wont work as it's designed for a kernel other than that used by Puppy. Actually it only a collection of precompiled drivers and command line utilities. Have a look on the wiki for information regarding ndiswrapper. |

Looks as though your adapter should be supported via drivers already included as modules with Puppy 1.0.3 and 1.0.4. Try this in a console window:
then
If iwconfig shows wlan0 as active, then follow the steps in this wiki page: http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/WiFi If you have a router that acts as a dhcp server, there is a shortcut for steps 3,4, & 5:

I am a noob, and i am just barely understanding how rarsa and I accomplished setting up my network.. but i am very interested in knowing how you figured out that driver. Please enlighten me. -BG Thank you black adder and rarsa! |

Happy to be of help. There was no great magic to it. I have a USB-connected wifi adapter. Many of the USB 802.11b devices contain ATMEL chips. So I just checked the site for the drivers http://at76c503a.berlios.de/, and your adapter was on the list. Next thing is to make the commands into a script to save you remembering and typing the commands each time. But maybe rarsa has already helped with that. |
