Lucid Puppy - Installing Wireless Driver
Greetings and Salutations,
I have Lucid Puppy installed to HD. I'm setting up this little box to take over WinME for Mum and it needs to connect via wireless to the network. To that end, I have installed a Texas Instruments ACX 111 card. My experience with Linux is limited to working with package managers, and my research has been a little confusing since I'm not sure what would work with what. Any help would be appreciated, :hattip: since this is WinME, you can understand my strong desire to get this thing working :Pengy: |
use your connect button on the desk top and you should see it wlan0 choose it . now configure your connection per step by step as it asks youy and tells you. The ACX 111 card the driver for this has been in the linux kernel for a few years. so that means you already have the driver installed.

No dice -
There is no wlan0. Under SNS details, it says there are no wireless extensions detected. I'm reasonably certain the card works since lspci sees it. |
Found this document while Googling:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi.../Driver/acx111 See if it helps, as the latest Puppy is based on Ubuntu. |
the driver for it is in /lib/modules/all-firmware .
read this link if it is running in 4.31 it will run in yours.http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/vie...f074f0cacf6709 it seems the native driver is there just the puppy wifi manager is not seeing it. Quote:

According to this post, you can edit the Puppy Network Wizard's configuration file to recognize the ACX driver as being WPA or WEP-compatible. Just be cautious.

Adding acx*| didn't help.
Attempting to build the driver. I couldn't find the kernel-headers (or source, whichever).I went ahead and installed apt-get but it didn't work either. I do have make and gcc installed. |
