Thank you very much！

@fhwuxue - you are missing a firmware file (see link below). Download the 1mb file & place it in /lib/firmware.
Should then be able to connect to network.

In the future, please tell us what specific Puppy Linux version, you are using.

The name of the Puppy ISO file is the best info.

There are many versions of Puppy, that people are still using, and they are all, slightly different.
Even the difference of 32bit or 64bit version is important.

Really, this information is best to provide:
