USB ethernet adapters are nothing exotic, and shouldn't require a special driver.
juntech, we really need to know your USB device ID. Please run this command - and post the results.

It's most inappropriate that the original poster did not reply.

For any newcomers who stumble upon this post and wonder about USB-ethernet adapters: it's likely that Puppy will automatically load the correct driver, and all you need to do is run the Network Wizard.

And for the record; the driver that Puppy is likely to load for juntech's device is "dm9601".

Hello all and please take into account I am an absolute beginner in Puppy Linux. I have the same problems with my USB Lan adapter, besides is recognized by usb as 0xfe6 0x9700 that is a clon of DM9601 usb lan device. Puppy 5.11 can not recognize it as a DM9601 clon automatically, also when I try to load dm9601 driver, it refuses to find the device. The problem is that id data (0xfe6 0x9700) is not present in the driver and when it was compiled that identities was not take into account. The only way I think is possible to make dm9601 driver to work is to recompile patching dm9601.h and .c to give support to the news ids. As I am a complete novice, I am not able to imagine how to do that, but if someone have other simpler or more succesful solution it will be fine for me. Thank you all guys.

Thank you for telling us your device ID. It makes it so much easier to provide help.
I have just updated the dm9601 driver for Puppy Lucid, available here -
