Loading wireless module failed in BookwormPup

Post by rubing »

Hi!

I installed the debian bookworm version of puppy and am now trying to get the wireless configured. I have a USB dongle with rtl88x2bu chipset. When I try to configure it with the network wizard there is an option to load the appropriate module which is present in the list, but if I try to load that module modprobe fails b/c it's not there, doh!!! What do i do?? Thanks!!

Is this BookwormPup64 or BookwormPup32?

Also need to know what exact version it is?

Example of BookwormPup64:
BookwormPup64 10.0.3
BookwormPup64 10.0.4
BookwormPup64 10.0.7

They are all different with much improvements in 10.0.7

Best if you could provide the exact name of it's ISO file.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o

@rubing :-

I shan't try to take over from bigpup, but a quick squizz shows firmware for 2 different variants on the rtl8812a, and one for the rtl8822be.....but not the rtl 8822bu.

This could be a job for @ozsouth to take a look at. Anyroad, I'll leave you in bigpup's capable hands...

Mike. ;)

@rubing - I made an rtl88x2bu wireless driver for Bookwormpup64 k6.1.94. Superseded by k6.1.106
