I'm running Racy 5.1.110 with no problems in my old laptop:
Toshiba s1410 , 512MB ram, GeForce 440 , Celeron 1.8Ghz.
Pnethood works well with win98 shares.

I experienced the same problem of forum member peebee with b43 driver:
modprobe b43 won't load the b43 firmware. I solved with the old method:
rmmod b43
tar -zxf /lib/modules/all.firmware/b43.tar.gz
cp -a /lib/modules/all.firmware/b43/* /
sync
modprobe b43

The b43 driver works on reboots. My wifi card is a Broadcom 4306 minipci.

I would like to install tightvnc viewer, will it work the puppy 3.01 repo .pet or do I need a more recent .pet?
I continue testing... Bye!

I made an sfs file of Goggles Music Manager.
It is approximately 7mb in size and contains all the dependencies
required by gogglesmm.

Other than the already reported B43 issue - things seem to be working fine so far.

Racy is fine in the AMD Fusion E-350 with AR 8152 and BCM 4313, until the Internet Connection Wizard is launched (when there is no ethernet plugged in). If wired connection is established at boot (ethernet is connected), no problem.

Changed the board to Asrock, changed the cpu to A2500+mobile, changed the monitor to 19"widescreen and the on-board SiS chipset gave the 1600x900 persistence feature. Nothing will shift it. Not Xorgwiz, not driver change, nothing.
SiS chipset problems only started very recently. It not the chipset, so what's the answer?

I made an sfs file of vlc 1.1.12 and it works in this newest version
of racy. It also contains the qt474 libs it needs to work but that
made the size of the sfs approximately 47mb.

Not tested in anything other than this version of racy and it works on
my computers, hopefully yours too if you want it

shinobar's sfs_load-1.2.9.pet can be used to load it on the fly or use
the bootmanager to load it.

A really strange thing happens with Peasyscan. I have to install the HP scanner driver, and then, to make it possible to scan via wifi, net_snmp package.
If I then try to scan, Peasyscan seg faults BUT, if I first install the HP driver, and run a scan via USB, THEN install the net_snmp package, Peasyscan operates via wifi just fine. Something to do with creating a configuration file (not the config file in /usr/local/peasyscan/config) at first run I guess.

@jim3630
It can be the kernel problem, but...
