I'm having some problem in understanding how to approach the compilation in Puppy (taht seems to be different from the other regular size distribution).
I own a new USB Ovislink OP-W54USB wireless key (rt2500/2400 usb device) and I'm trying to get it working with Puppy.
As far as the existing driver doesn't work with it I looked for other solution as the driver compilation.
I've installed the new Puppy1.0.8r1Mozilla on my HD and everything works fine as before and copied the usr_devx.sfs in the "/".
I tried to compile two different driver one from Ralink Ovislink site and one from community (rt2500-cvs)without any success.
Could you please help me in solving this problem?
Thanks
Find attached some details in case.
Following the Ralink instruction I get the following:

ModelName:
===========
RT2500USB
==============================================
Driver lName:
===========
rt2570.ko
==============================================
Ralink Hardware:
===========
Ralink 802.11b/g wireless network card.
==============================================
Description:
=============
This is a linux device driver for Ralink RT2500USB b/g WLAN Card.
This driver implements basic 802.11 function. Infrastructure and Ad-hoc mode with open or
shared or wpapsk authentication method. WEP-40 and WEP-104 or tkip encryption.
===============================================
Compatibility:
===================
Testing has been done with LinEX kernel 2.6.9, Fedora Core 3.
You may encounter some rough edges when working with recent other Linux kernels branch.
===============================================
FILE LAYOUT:
=============
*.c : c files
*.h : header files
Makefile.6 :Makefile for kernel 2.6
Makefile.4 :Makefile for kernel 2.4
./LINUX_RACONFIG_Vx.x.x.x : source code for utility RaConfig2500 version x.x.x.x
./LINUX_RACONFIG_Vx.x.x.x/bin/LINUX/RaConfig2500 : utility RaConfig2500
==============================================
Build Instructions:
====================
1) cp Makefile.x Makefile // x is your kernel
1-1) $make config // if at kernel 2.4 series
2) $make
3) $insmod rt2570.ko # Insert driver module
4) $ifconfig rausb0 up # Bring up device
5) $dhclient rausb0 # Get network IP address
Note: Script functionality:
Configure retrive linux version
6) ./LINUX_RACONFIG_Vx.x.x.x/bin/"Linux"/RaConfig2500
if lack of libstdc++.so.6, cp ./LINUX_RACONFIG_Vx.x.x.x/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib
7)Edit(or add the line) in /etc/modules.conf
alias rausb0 rt2570
Create and edit 'ifcfg-rausb0' file in /etc/sysconfig/network-script/DEVICE='rausb0'
ONBOOT='yes'
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'

Installation instructions for the rt2500 Module
==============================================
Build Instructions:
====================
For 2.4 or 2.6 series kernel:
a. $tar -xvzf rt2500-x.x.x.tar.gz
go to "./rt2500-x.x.x/Module" directory.
b. $make # compile driver source code
c. $make install # installs kernel module driver
