Update : I've discovered that the Asus WL-138g v2 PCI wifi card is actually faulty, I've swapped into 4 of the empty PCI slots on the mobo and it works in none of them. Going to return/exchange the card on Monday, if I get another of the same that works...then kewl...if not I'm considering a TP-Link Pci card WN610G I think the model is.

I'll update when I learn something new. Thanks to those that have viewed so far.

Hello all,

I am new to Puppy Linux, and Linux in general, I just started using Puppy 3.01 as live cd about a week or so ago.

Just today I decided to do a full install on a system :
Pentium III 450MHz
512MB memory
Asus WL-138g v2 PCI wireless card

when I bring up the Network config tool it has autoloaded bcm43xx driver, I also tried to use ndiswrapper with the driver provided on the install cd but I didn't get that far with that either...I couldn't figure out how to unload the bcm43xx driver.

I intend on multi-booting Puppy with Shift Linux & Vector Linux Standard 5.9

I have not as yet, installed the other distros.

According to :
http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part ... dname=Asus

the WL-138g v2 works with Linux (in general I am guessing)
802.11g WL-138G v.2 man: 14e4 dev: 4318 PCI Broadcom Bcm43xx green

Any tips on how I may be able to get it up and running?

Any help appreciated.

thank you.

Here's a link where bcm43xx worked. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 025#172025

Could be that this is the prob so to blacklist - menu > system > boot manager configure bootup (least in muppy 008), but you must have at least a save file for it to work.

Here's the deal with pup. http://www.puppylinux.com/development/p ... tement.htm

Tried a search in pup of your card & came up with zip.
