Have Googled it and so far all I can find out is that I need the atl1c driver. But cannot find anywhere to download it.

If download instructions include "compile it" I will need guidance.

Using Puppy Slacko 5.3.1, if it matters.

Please posr the results of "lspci -v". You only need the section for the wireless device. Post the result of "lspci -n". This supplies the MANID (manufactures ID). Post the results of "uname -r" for your kernel version.

Atheros devices usually have a kernel module that includes any firmware. Most other wireless devices require you to supply the firmware. It could be that you simply need to modprobe the kernel module, or the device may be more recent than your kernel and yiu need a more recent kernel for the device to be detected. This was the case when my net book was new. My ath9k
device didn't recognize the manid of the wireless controller.

Found it, loaded it, working.

Learned something. Don't look in the right-hand column of driver list for the chip, find out which driver you need and then look in the left-hand column for the driver. Right-hand column says atl1c is for Atheros M1000, which is hardly intuitively the correct driver.

Thanks for the help.
