Which wireless usb adapters work well in Slacko 5.7.0?

I moved the adapter to a different usb port and that made no difference. I then did a clean install of Slacko 56 and got it to connect most of the time but after a few minutes it would drop out, sometimes come back. It was giving me my router ip address but finally it gave me the bogus ip again. I checked 'details' after some scans and sometimes it would read signal strength 70/70 = 10 dbs but other times 69/70 =-40 dbs. I'm thinking it has to be software problem because I am typing this right now on the exact same hardware set-up in Windows. Everything working great, fast and no dropouts.
Like I said before, my experience with this adapter has been the opposite. However, here is little utility that may help to keep your connection up.
If you are just booting off the CD with no savefile, you will need v1.2 that starts running immediately.

I tried your utility and it may have helped a bit, but still doing much the same thing. I'm throwing my hands up in the air for now, but I sure appreciate your help. It's my son's computer and I'll revert back to windows for now. I'm going to have to upgrade the video card anyway, when he tries to install minecraft it can't do the render process. Again, thanks. I learned a lot regardless.

On a Puppy machine (if you can get it to connect by Wifi) click the PWF Status button. It will show you an IP address like 192.168.2.12. Or run the command: ifconfig
On a Windows machine, open a DOS window and run: ipconfig
For a static IP address, pick something at the high end of the subnet that would likely be unused, like 192.168.2.200.
A while back, you mentioned a problem with the bogus IP address 169.254.169.22. That suggests to me a conflict between the DHCP server on your router and the DHCP client in Puppy. By using a static IP address, you may avoid the problem.

Purchasing a more compatible wireless adapter would probably be the easiest. I've had great success using this adapter from thinkpenguin.com with Precise 5.6.1.
Linux, overall, still does not support wireless adapters very well, sadly.

I have the TP-Link TL-WN727N USB wireless adapter. It works great under Shiba Inu Mate which is I believe based on one of the Slacko's.
I have however found that this adapter will not work if plugged into a usb3 port. It must be plugged into a usb2 port.
In Frisbee, there is a timeout setting under Diagnostics and I've found that a 15-second timeout helps to maintain the connection when using Frisbee.
Also if you are accessing the 'Net from home in a crowded urban area it may help to ask your Internet provider how to switch your wifi cablemodem to a different channel than the standard one, to avoid interference. (--or, if using a hardwired DSL or non-wifi cablemodem, see your wifi router's admin procedure to switch it to another channel).
Also, if you use Dougal's network setup, and WPA2 encryption, make sure you change Security from Open to Restricted before you save the access point settings.
