Belkin card not working

#1 Post by issarad »

I am running Puppy 3.0 on my ancient Compaq LTE 5400 and have been unable to get my Belkin Ethernet card (model F5D5020) to work. I'm not even getting a connection light under Puppy, but if I boot DSL it autodetects and works right away with little to no fuss.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

I've also tried using my older 3Com Etherlink III (3c589D) with the same startling lack of connection.

No matter what driver I choose for either card, neither of them work and report back that no device was detected.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for all help.

Belkin USB NIC not working in TeenPup 2008

#2 Post by ChiJoan »

Hello,

It seems Dingo 4 wouldn't boot on this Compaq Prosignia 162 with a P2 running at 366 MHz with about 190 MB RAM, but I had it booting before as I wrote on it, to note there was no Gem Drop game. I know it wasn't on this laptop though, glad TeenPup 2008 installed.

I know the USB worked on WinXP, perhaps it needed the extra power from an AC powered USB hub?

Now to hunt up the specs for Puppy Dingo...
