wireless in jammypup 9.8

[Gnimmelf]

i notice that on my lenovo ideapad gaming 3 jammypup 9.8 doesnt find my wireless wifi? it does on Jammypup version 9.7b and

imppup - https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic. ... 185#p38185

if i use my usb wireless adapter it works....?

it seems maybe there is missing a driver?

if it is -how to find and install correct?

i tried to use the ekstra sfs files from imppup - didnt work......

as you can probably tell i dont know were to find and how to do

it does on Jammypup version 9.7b

I suggest that you back up the vmlinuz, fdrv sfs and zdrv sfs of 9.8 to some other place, and that you use the vmlinuz, fdrv sfs and zdrv sfs of 9.7b for jammypup64 9.8.

It is necessary that the fdrv and zdrv be renamed as fdrv_jammypup64_9.8.sfs and zdrv_jammypup64_9.8.sfs.

Did jammypup 9.8 with the kernel borrowed from 9.7b fail to boot?

[Gnimmelf]

No it doesnt fail to boot Im just not getting the working wifi driver - im not sure i did it correct?

if i use , vmlinuz, fdrv sfs and zdrv sfs of 9.7b for jammypup64 9.8.

- is there any of 9.8 left?

where is the wifi driver hidden? vmlinuz, fdrv sfs or zdrv sfs?

do i need to borrow them all from 9.7b?

i feel there is a lot here i dont understand

vmlinuz...linux kernel
zdrv...kernel drivers
fdrv...firmware
The kernel and kernel drivers are inseparable.

You said the wifi was active on 9.7b, so I thought you could use the kernel of 9.7b.
The original kernel of 9.8 is older than that of 9.7b. Usually the newer kernel supports newer hardware.

Anyway, 9.8 is still under development. So I recommend that you use the 9.7b iso.

Swapping kernels (in particular, vmlinuz , fdrv & zdrv from 9.7b into 9.8 & then naming the last 2 as the 9.8 version's names) should work.

To check what your wireless adaptor is, in a terminal run: lspci -nn | grep etwork
To check if you're missing any firmware, in a terminal run: dmesg | grep irmware

what to make of it...?

@Gnimmelf - the zdrv & fdrv in 9.7b have the rtw-88 driver & firmware you need. If you run in a terminal:
uname -r
do you get 5.16.14? (if you swapped the kernel correctly, you will).
If the kernel is correct, try connecting with frisbee instead of sns.
