To be able to help you, we need to positively identify your ethernet device.
Please run this command and report the results.

Alright here is the output of that command:

You need the upgraded Intel e1000e ethernet driver,
available for Puppy versions 5.1 - 5.2.8 here -

Thanks tempestuous - now it works great!!

How did you find out that it was that exact model i needed from that lspci -n command?

Thanks for help,
Best regards

See PCI ID repository
Else if your system support it, you can use elspci -l

Yes, an online list of PCI ID's will tell you what device (brand/model/type) relates to each device ID,
then you can check this ID against the entire list of ID's supported by Puppy's kernel modules, by looking at /lib/modules/<kernelversion>/modules.pcimap and /lib/modules/<kernelversion>/modules.usbmap.
Of course, I have many additional third-party drivers installed on my system, so I have more device ID's listed than on a standard Puppy installation. But in your case it was relatively easy anyway; you were likely to need one of the Intel ethernet drivers, e1000, e1000e or igb, and it was just a question of which one.
You can query the e1000e driver, yourself, with this command - and you will see listed all supported device ID's (including your own) in this format -

- Thanks tempestuous - taking notes.. .

- You should collect all these tech know hows on some webpage...

-when you mean "online list of PCI ID's " you just google it? or do you have a wepage you usuallu check on first?
