Problems with Gateway NE71B keyboard and wireless

[liesnomore]

I installed yesterday Puppy on my USB stick(32G). Everything went good, but my wireless (Intel Centrino N105) is not working( not detected) and my keyboard is "messing up". If my keyboard is not working, then I have to re-boot and sometimes works. It does have Nvidia chipset. Any solutions?.
I just downloaded "slacko" and will try it. Thanks.

Hi...

What version of Puppy are you using and what is the kernel version?

Code: Select all

uname -r

According to this, it looks like your chipset has been supported since kernel 3.2.

I would imagine Slacko 5.6 would support it since the PAE version has the 3.10.5 kernel and the non-PAE 3.4.52.

I'm not sure how to help you with the keyboard. Give Google a shot and see what comes up.

Wireless Connection and Frisbee problems.

Possible issues and fixes.

Wireless speakers.

" Does any one know of "wireless speakers" that work with linux. "

" Make sure they don't interfere with wifi in your house.
I had a tough time trying to find a friends wifi issue.
It was wireless speakers. "

::::::::::::::

CHANGE Your Wireless Channel number if wireless fails.

I can confirm that this does work.

I had to change from Netgear default >> Channel 11

to >> Channel9. ...reasons set out below.

:::::::::::

Windows 7 and different Puppies failed to connect last month
on my Dell laptop.

This certainly never happened with this Puppy version before,
which >> had no save file.

I believe that some neighbour recently fired up a new router
or some other device which was interfering with my router signal.

Anyway >> I changed the Channel number >> Problem solved.

Change Your Wi-Fi Router Channel to Optimize Your Wireless Signal

:::::::::

Also...I have done this for lost wireless settings...

Unplug AC power >> remove the battery >>

hold down Power button for at least 30 secs.

Re-assemble and reboot.

You would be amazed at how often this works.

Frisbee >> Change the >> Ap_scan Parameter

Not often this occurs but with Frisbee >> delete your profiles

Restart

>> Connect

Frisbee starts...

Select >> Wireless Diagnostics

Select Ap_scan

Change the >> Ap_scan Parameter

from 1 to >> 2
for a better connection to a hidden network

Exit Frisbee

Hit Connect >> Frisbee starts...>> Wireless Network refresh

A few moments later...networks reappear

Fill in your details...and Frisbee connects.

Wireless.

Does F12 or Fn F12 turn on the wireless. ..for some laptops.

""""""

I don't know if you solved it but also for other people having issues
with gateway laptops that don't have the wifi button.

The trick is simple enough,

just press F3 on the startup sequence and that should
enable the wifi.

I have a windows 8 gateway laptop(NE71B Series)

Pressing the keys Fn + F1 at the same time will enable or disable
the built in wifi.

This is fifth Linux distro that I am trying and every one have the keyboard problem, but only the Puppy can not find my wireless. I had installed the Lucid and Slacko. No luck. Would be possible that Gateway do not like Linux?. I need Linux to learn POP-11. Can not get it work in windows.

It's likely that there is a physical (hardware) issue with the keyboard. So you weren't able to get Slacko to recognize your adapter?

I have no problems with keyboard in windows(7). Sometimes I have to reboot 3-4 times before keyboard is recognize. Slacko have the some problem. Sorry guys( and ladies), but I give up - I am stuck with windows.
