How to use wifi and touch screen in Dell Latitude ST? (BionicPup32)

[ironsniper1]

blocked all of those and added the ones we want and still no wifi

also there is this under lsmod

Please be more specific. Did you check for devices using

Code: Select all

lspci

Did you try to ADDLIST the ath3k driver as suggested if the lspci output did not show the atheros device?

If you have done both of those then check the output of

Code: Select all

rfkill list

There should be nothing either soft blocked or hard blocked.
---------------------

rfkill list is blank and yes I did do both, also I had to go into work today and setup a laptop for someone and as I was leaving I turned around in my office facing my desk and what did I find sitting there? a mini wireless card that might work in this tablet, all though I would still like to try and get the one in there working incase someone else were to find this post needing help with the same tablet

I am out of bullets.

I suggest try a different puppy version
These are all relatively late model compared to your hardware (except maybe the lagacy stuff)
viewforum.php?f=114

The Bionic64 is the other latest official release and is authored by a different developer than the 32-bit version you have been trying. The Xenials then Tahrs newest to oldest. Also the other versions in that link are worth a look. Don't give up.

If you try that different mini pcie card in bionic 32 you should return your /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG file back to what it was before the modifications, you won't want to force anything loaded nor prevent anything loading with the new card.

Somebody else's turn. Good Luck!

put in the other card and its a wireless card so the iwlwifi should work with it according to this page https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi also this tablet can only handle 32bit os and not 64bit, so far this new card is not working either and I am starting to wonder if its still a driver problem but with the slot that card sits in

EDIT here is a fresh copy from the dmesg command and only one thing stands out and I don't know if it is the issue or not

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.

they all had the same result no wireless or touchscreen or working docking station, the wireless and touch screen okay but I don't understand how the docking station just stops working right after grub its very strange
