Trying to get wireless and touch screen working

Hey everyone, first here is my original thread on the puppy main forum https://puppylinux.rockedge.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=391, to break it down, I am trying to get Linux working on an old Dell Latitude ST tablet computer with docking station and out of all the Linux distros I have tried puppy is the only one that will run

but I have run into the issue of the wireless and touchscreen as well as the USB and ethernet port on the docking station not working even know there are built-in drivers for all of it

I thought maybe it was the wireless card since it is wireless and Bluetooth in one (its a DW1535C wireless card) but I replaced it with an intel 6300 and still no luck

if anyone has any ideas I can try let me know also here is a pastebin of the latest dmesg command https://pastebin.com/XMv3yEdE and the only thing that jumps out at me is the following but I am not sure if that is the issue or not

Code:

already installed and i have since fixed that error from someone saying this

Quote:

On my bionicpup32 mtp-probe is not located in /etc/udev/

it is located in /lib/udev/
It should probably be in /etc/udev/

It looks like all the /etc/udev/ files have been relocated to /lib/udev/ and the system does not know?
I don't know if copying those files over will fix anything. It may?
-------------
On bionicpup 64 mtp-probe is sym-linked from /lib/udev/ to /etc/udev/
So probably will not hurt anything to copy it over or make a sym-link to it.

i just copied and pasted the files into /etc/udev and now that error is gone but still no wireless or touchscreen

ifconfig shows only a loop back adapter and the .conf file is blank

I don't see any wireless adaptor listed. Post the ouput of these two commands

Code:

lsusb -v -t

lshw -C network

i know and that's the issue, it works fine under windows 7 pro and there are drivers in puppy for the wireless card as well as the touch screen and the docking station it uses but for some reason none of that works
