Just my 2 cents worth on wireless: it really is a combination. I have 3 old laptops, 2 PC wireless cards and a usb dongle.

The Winbook Si my wife uses hates everything. It prefers the usb dongle, even though that one has to ndiswrapper the Windows driver. Today I installed Wary 104 on it. By a lot, it is the best Puppy as far as connecting to wireless on that machine. It never boots up and connects. With Wary, right click on connect, left click on autoconnect and you're there (Thank you rjbrewer). That's 2 to 12 clicks better than 431. It did take several tries to get it to connect the first time, maybe a dozen, doing the same thing over and over. That's par for the course on that machine.

My Thinkpad 600E hates new Puppies as far as wireless. It won't run the newer kernels at all. A different Puppy means doing the same thing dozens of times before it finally connects. After the first time it's good and you can switch PC cards pretty easy. It hasn't made friends with the usb dongle yet.

The Thinkpad R51 doesn't like the usb dongle. It has the slot and antenna for an internal card so that may be coming. I have learned it's the combination that matters.

As far as Wary 104, the only complaint my wife has is the 24 hour clock in the bottom right corner.

hope u will find solution for it...
note:- i have install linux driver for it from website which is deb file , after installing that driver it detects modem
http://www.teracom.in/htmls/3G.html

It didnot detects modem first,but after installing deb file provided by modem teracom than it detects.

some one using 3g bsnl on other linux check how he did

Thanks for this, I was looking at updating my OS from 4.31 and this seemed promising.

I seem to have two minor problems, firstly my laptop with the Intel 845g video chipset does not work with Xorg even though I have chosen Intel i810 as the driver

Secondly I do have sound available to me, but only using terminal ( alsamixer ), but not available using the ALSA soundcard wizard

For you guys who liked the video support in Quirky 1.3, I have created a PET for Wary 5.0 that combines all the necessary packages from Quirky 1.3 that will bump Xorg up to version 7.5:

No takers on the RC thread, so asking again on this live one. Any ideas why my ISA sound card settings aren't retained in a FULL installation? How to fix it? Very unusual that settings don't stick for a FULL install. As explained earlier, there can be lots of advantages in using an ISA sound card with on-board amp, as well as Wary being intended for older kit.

Since the wifi in Puppy 5.15 Beta works on my old Vaio laptop (see post above), but the wifi in Wary 5.0 does not "associate" using this laptop, I decided to try to switch the kernel in Wary 5.0 like in this post (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60180). I was able to switch the kernels and get Wary 5.0 to boot with the 5.15 Beta kernel, but now I don't see any of the wifi drivers in the Network Manager!

Is there some other stuff (besides that detailed in the "How To" post) that I should move from 5.15 into Wary to make this work? I am not sure about what all the wifi dependencies are from one Puppy to the next.

Thanks,
