Hello, I managed to boot Puppy 1.0.4 from a 265Mb usb key but I have problem activating my network card. The driver is recognized ok but I still have a "network cable unplugged" error. My card is a Broadcom 440X 10/100 running on a Dell Inspiron 9300. Does it help if I download and install the "official" driver for Linux from the Broadcom site? Any clue? Regards, Luciano |

Any of this look familiar? Broadcom BCM4301 802.11b Wireless LAN Client Chipset PCI Realtek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet Adapter PCI PCI ID: 14e4:4301 ------------- If so, I think you're screwed like me. Best of luck though. I've got 5 "PCI ID matches" for drivers in this list: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List and the first three of them work don't work (i got two to go). Anyone out there get a Broadcom Wireless Card to work with ndiswrapper? |

Yes. My Buffalo G54 (a Broadcom WLI-CB-G54A-based device) is working nicely on an older IBM 600X laptop. http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=1622&start=30 Scroll backwards in that thread to see the long and winding road I took to get it working ... took lots of very patient help from several of the wonderful folks on this list!

koevet, For your Broadcom BCM 4401 ethernet controller, yes, I think you need to compile the driver (in Puppy 1.0.5alpha2) from www.broadcom.com/drivers/downloaddrivers.php For your PRO/Wireless IPW2200BG controller, I compiled this driver recently. I will put it on a download site soon. Watch the "Announcements" forum, or email me. |
