Re: Compile for new wifi module: build folder??

Well the postscript is that I got it working with the more compatible Tp-Link Nano USB TL-WN725N... which works fine especially with my smartphone hotspot. My Modem router wireless signal is weak and due for an upgrade which may have been a contributing factor. The module for the new TPlink is ...

Re: Compile for new wifi module: build folder??

steeve, Your onboard device [8086:06f0] requires a kernel version of no less than 5.7. As for your dongle, it's far easier to buy hardware that conforms to software rather than the other way around. MicroCenter and Amazon carry several compatible dongles for Puppy @ no more than $15 dollars US ...

Re: Compile for new wifi module: build folder??

@ThruHammer - I've made & uploaded a .pet from your source. The source file was under the driver subfolder. Is quite different from my previous efforts & seems specific to steeve's adaptor. @steeve - .pet apparently matching your adaptor's source is here (use at own risk): https://www.mediafire.com ...

Re: Compile for new wifi module: build folder??

@steeve - I guess none of the .pets worked? Sometimes, although I haven't seen it recently, modules need to be blacklisted as they interfere with other drivers. The output of lsmod, with the dongle plugged in would be interesting. Thank you very much for your help. MS only wished they had that ...

Not sure what I'm supposed to do : I moved the delta files into a separate folder 'old' but the pop ups still appear. What I should know is what are the delta files really doing? what are they for?
