I'm in the UK, I've got puppy working on the harddrive of an old laptop P3 500mhz 64 mbs 9GB SONY VAIO (great job guys ! I've tried zen, DSL, debian (shreaded), - and absolutely love your GUI ! Top marks - its my first post so I should be allowed to rant!) 
All I want is an easy install for a wireless card... I've read your guides they are all good. In fact I've just watched an install video on how to connect up my wireless card! 
I want a PCMCIA wireless card (speed no problem) but I do want it to support encrpytion. Does any body have a link to one they have recently bought and just installed about as easy as it comes.... something like this install... 
http://rhinoweb.us/howtosetupwireless.htm Does any body maintain a page with appropriate brand names and or suppliers. Something like this from DABS interested me... http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=3X0N&SearchType=1&SearchTerms=pcmcia+wireless&PageMode=3&SearchKey=All&SearchMode=All&NavigationKey=0 (hope that link works otherwise the DABS quicklinx is 3X0NWS ) I undersand it is to do with the chipset etc, but if I'm buying a new card I figure I may as well get one that works as easy as possible and as I've seen posted you cant tell from the packaging. If PCMCIA is no good - I'd settle for a USB - linksys card. Advice appreciated, by any body who has positive experiences hopefully having a place I can purchase the card from in the UK (practicallities rule - so does the P&P from the states )
happy new year guys - If this post is off topic I'm sure somebody can reposition me. I found this thread through wireless links from other topics so its the best I've seen in a few hours of surf. _________________ ------------------------------- hit hard, run fast, sleep tight. ------------------------------- |

This page in the wiki shows adapters that people have got working with Puppy. Not all these adapters are currently available from retailers, of course. Presumably your Viao has a CardBus slot - needed for most wireless PCMCIA cards. |
