Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

@Logan57 - Welcome to Puppy. As puppy is small, we often need to add drivers.
With your device plugged in, please run the following commands in a terminal (console) & post contents
here, so we can identify your device. The | (pipe) operator is usually above the \ key.

lsusb | grep etwork

and then

dmesg | grep irmware

With the first command, I'm particularly interested on the device code - something like ID 0bda:8179

Do you understand how to use the network connection wizards?

Yes i did watch some youtube video to know about the wizard.but i cant find my wlan rtl device.

Logan, it's: lsusb from a terminal. The opener's a lowercase L.

It'll be something like:

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 148f:5372 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5372 Wireless Adapter

We're looking for your devices ID.

Sorry bro (Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp)

@Logan57 ok, seems your driver is rtl8818fu, for which we have a bionicpup64 driver - is here:
https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... .19.23.pet

You need to download that .pet file & with your adaptor plugged in, click on the .pet file in ROX-Filer to install it.

You then should be able to connect with the connect wizard. To retain the driver, you need to reboot, saving to the offered savefile or savefolder. You may need a reboot (& save) to get it going.

Thankyou bro,thankyou very much.

One more problem bro i jus downloaded a 400mb Mega file from chrome and puppy can't save the file shows disk full.is there any way to save the file ?

OK, BionicPup64 via live USB boot with persistence.

Save "file" or folder == the entire drive?

What's the available size you have?

Download the file to a location that is not in the save.
/mnt/home is a good one.

I forgot to mention, download to a location outside your save.
