Thanks micko i know this is out for major testin & i for one am very happy. sns worked like a charm on my wireless which has been a real pain with most puplets released recently.

Some would get online but would take like 10 minutes to get an IP. This was almost instantly online so thanks so glad to figure out it wasnt my wireless setup & more to do with the kernel which is what i really hoped it was. my wireless info if needed is below.

rt73usb ralink rt73 usb wireless lan driver

Booted from live cd using default options-

Went straight to desktop using 1366x768

No network interface detected.

I have two controllers on this HP Pentium 4, 2.8 ghz pc
1. Ethernet Controller-ADMtek NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 (rev 11)

2. Ethernet Controller - Intel Corporation 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller (rev02)

First time in two years of using puppies that "No interface detected":.
Sometimes I have to select one or the other and then it works, but no cigar this time

Like others ive read so far my ethernet card is not detected. not a major issue with me i never use it for the most part. not sure whats in this machine for an ethernet card so will find out from another puplet & post the info when i can.

I found driver for my intel card as well as several others at

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=6647&lang=eng

How do I compile so it will work in this puppy?

That's the driver it uses, missing in action though in this release.

Broadcom wifi driver not loaded so wlan unaccessible. Loaded module via network wizard and it then worked and survived boot.
b43 pcmcia module

[pemasu]

Interesting thing is...3.1.8 in wuxiandianzi Lucid 5.2.8 based puplet and b43 autoloads. So...it really can be more of the recent woof problem than exactly kernel spesific. Although b43 autoloads with 2.6.39.4 and recent woof. Could there be some script which still needs patching for 3.X kernels. And why it seems to affect b43 only.

You will need patched acpitool source. Check Jemimah`s source folder in smokey01 repo.

For me SNS didnt launch. Xerrs.log reported this:
/usr/sbin/net-setup.sh: line 1683: scanpci: command not found

I grabbed the scanpci from the kitchen and then the SNS started. Ath9k and atl1e found. Wireless with WPA works ok.

DOTconfig seems to miss whole tulip. No matches when I used search.
Annihilation of whole tulip family.

You seem to use aufs, like me with 3.1 kernel. Somebody could check if usb installation, booting and then pet installation using PPM and saving the pets is succesful. I mean are they still saved and usable after reboot. That has been the problem with aufs and 3.X kernels. Or maybe 01micko has already cured it.

[pemasu]

New report for me:
# gnome-mplayer
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.

I get these to the xerrs.log also. Just thought to report even if this release is mainly for net connections reporting. Shame me....

[01micko]

yeah, I already compiled gmome-mplayer 1.0.5 but didn't put it in, the problem is that "dconf" package isn't there, and I refuse to compile against the gconf bloat!

[01micko]

Actually, usb2 is not broken, In Jim's report there is "ERROR: modinfo: could not find module ehci_hcd"... that's because it's compiled into the vmlinuz (the kernel).

Ok, I've caught all the ethernet modules *I think* (realtek, tulip, broadcom and others), also iwlagn, wireless,

I'll take a look in STA see if there is new stuff.

@nooby.. the command is jwm -restart (with a space)
Anyway, I put a feature request in with Joe Wing to do an automatic restart of jwm and he has done it in jwm-svn-576 so I'm hoping this finally fixes that problem you have.
