Sorry that you are experiencing connection issues. I did put a folder in there with Broadcom pets for those needing them (see under Network in the menu) however i do not have enough PCs to make sure this puplet is compatible with everything. I too use a cheap usb wifi adapter from ebay (Zydas zd1211rw chipset module) this adapter works flawlessly in every linux i have tried it on. But i do understand how pleasant it is to get your built in LAN adapters to work. If you come up with a working solution, please do post it here and i will roll it into the next release. I have decided to keep a list of all bugs and fixes and update the diamond iso every 3 months or so. That way i can also keep up with the latest firefox and flash too. Thank you for the feedback.nooby wrote:Thanks TLM. Yes I am all for that the developer should make

But sadly you don't have an Acer D250 then you would have known
that it fail to find a driver for the Atheros there that work.
The surprising thing is that Atheros that is in some 18 out of 20
Puppies and 18 out of 20 Ubuntu too always give me internet
using LAN but your OS and two more Puppies fail to see any LAN
card connection at all. And it does not help to load same driver
that I use on all the other puppies that works so something odd
apart from that it looked like you wanted it.
Diamond - 9 May 2012
Is the Atheros driver that you use configured specifically for kernel 2.6.33.2?nooby wrote:Thanks TLM. Yes I am all for that the developer should make

I checked in the drivers of diamond, and there are several atheros drivers in there. Located in /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath
That might be a place to start looking. It contains 3 different folders of atheros drivers, but i do not know which one you need or whether they will load and function correctly. However i am still fairly new to all this, but will try to help you.
oops we wrote at same time so I edit in your suggestion
I am not on that level. I barely get what I would need to do to follow
your suggestion. I rather prefer that somebody else try it out and
report back to you. I just wanted to give example what did happen
if somebody as noob as what I am tried it out. No big deal.
You decided if it is of help or not. I am not enough motivated
to give it more time. Don't get me wrong. I do wish you success.
But I am into Lupu Puppy just now, I have Lupu 528 004 that is my main Puppy
and only wanted to test your Diamond to give feedback
on things that could be a trouble for those with same hardware
that I have

Thanks nooby for the feedback. I too have limited time to develop and study further. I have to go to work at my day factory job now. Never enough time to spend computing
But i am not rich, otherwise i would stay spend more time studying these things. I will do a little each day and do the best i can tho. Thanks and cheers to you

Hi TLM I Burned the iso to cd . I've been testing it out . it boots smoothly .
Runs nice and smooth too. I don't see its size as a handicap at all . I think it will be a great puppy ! Can't wait to see more .

Thanks for this one, it looks interesting. I'm downloading it now.

No Internet
This is the first Puppy I have ever tried that doesn't let me connect. There seems to be no module to load.
Re: No Internet
Hi, sorry to hear about connection issues. Is it a wired or wireless conneciton you have? What kind of network adapter do you have?davec51 wrote:This is the first Puppy I have ever tried that doesn't let me connect. There seems to be no module to load.

It seems to be a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx gigabit C controller, if that's what you're asking. As I said, I must have installed a dozen Puppies of all kinds, never failed to find a connection. The computer is an older Pentium IV Dell GX520.

Suppose that I have tested some 25 different Puppies.
Could be less or much more. I did try to test each that
got published in this forum.
So out of some 25 only two or three failed to get internet.
Diamond is among these three.
TXZ is another and then the third I fail to remember which is was.
So would be cool if all of us tested TXZ again and looked for
how TXZ and Diamond are similar? Maybe same script used
or same kernel or same whatever it is?
IIRC TXZ was so nasty that it shut off the LAN so not even Win7
nor any linux could get it going. The only way to get LAN back
was to take out battery of the Netbook and take out power plug
and then let it's RAM drain to zero and then start it up again
with Lupu and then it worked for Lupu or Win again.
So something odd with the drivers there.

Diamond and the Internet
Thanks, Nooby. When something goes wrong I always suspect that I'm doing something wrong. If it's a more general problem I'm off the hook.
I must apologize it does appear that there may be some networking glitches. I just unhooked my wired connection on my desktop and plugged in a usb wireless adapter. It connected ok, the only problem is: now that i have gone back to the wired, my stay connected no longer works no matter what i do. I have to run the internet connection wizard at every boot to set it back up, this despite having clicked on the Stay Connected to Internet function. I am keeping a list of bugs, and am thinking that next release, i may just begin fresh and remaster again from scratch. Am working on a release based on Lucid 528 too. Please provide any feedback, especially if you are having networking issues.

A quick update; I've tried Diamond now, and although I'm not currently posting from it, it's one of the Puppies I'm likely to be using in the near future. I see it as a good update for the old Open Office based Pups such as Muppy. Thanks for putting it together.

Thank you for the kind words. Stand by; a new version based on 528 is just about a week away It is mostly the same, except with Abiword and Gnumeric instead of full blown LibreOffice, however i will have the LibreOfice pet available as a separate download.Colonel Panic wrote:A quick update; I've tried Diamond now, and although I'm not currently posting from it, it's one of the Puppies I'm likely to be using in the near future.

Diamond 2.12
Dear Sir:
I have been using Diamond 2.12 for three days with no trouble.
Kernel modules auto-load for my hardware:
Video chip: Intel 845G (i915)
Sound chip: Intel 82801DB (snd_intel8x0)
Ethernet: Realtek RTL-8139 (8139too)
Wireless: 3Com OfficeConnect (zd1211rw)
I chose the 'intel' driver during Xorg setup at first boot.
My only concern is the default enabling of Java in Firefox.
Some people might consider that a security problem.
Thank you for both the clean GUI and including
Firefox 10 with a working Flash.
Kind regards,
Bat

Re: Diamond 2.12
Thank you for the feedback. I was pretty sure i had the java DISABLED by default in FireFox. However i might of missed it. I will run the live cd and doublecheck. The coming 528 version will not have java. The java package was necessary for LibreOffice to run, and it installed the firefox java plugin as well, but i think i had it disabled.batchain wrote:Dear Sir:
