Puppy 4.20 and RaLink Wifi
Posted: Fri 05 Jul 2013, 18:32
This is making me a little nuts. Have read up on network issues here but still can't get onto my Wifi from my Dell D610 laptop using it's RALink wireless card, apparently a known issue.
My network is visible and correctly identified except that Puppy interprets the security as WEP, while my network is actually set up for WPA/WPA2, TKIP-or-AES
Reading that WPA is not directly supported in 4.2 I installed the following PETS in varying orders and combinations.
Wpa_supplicant-0.6.9-i486.4X
Wpa_gui-qt4-i486.pet
Rtutilt_.18
Rtutilt_v0.14
Rtutilt-V12.pup
Qt4.53-2-w5
Frisbee-beta-2.pet.
I can invoke the utilities (those above and the defaults in Puppy 4.2), and there is some handshaking going on, but I'm never connected, and never able to browse. No success with hard IP assignment/gateway either.
Any thoughts? What info, logs, or errors might I post to get some help on this? Thanks
