Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

no WEP compatibility, so only open network avail. pls upgrade and place here. i cannot do it.

@boof - we need to know what kernel you have & your wireless adaptor code.

in a terminal, please run (& post output here):

uname -r

and then

lspci -nn | grep etwork || lsusb | grep etwork

root# uname -r
5.4.53
root#
root# lspci -nn | grep etwork || lsusb | grep etwork
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:b723]
root#

thx

@boof - Sorry, the source code is unavailable. As the driver was added into the 3.15 kernel in March 2014,
developers have deleted the source code. Hence new drivers can't be built.

Try using the full Network Wizard to make the setup.

It is a lot of steps, but does make it easy to find the problem.

menu->Setup->Internet Connection Wizard->Wired or wireless LAN->Network Wizard

Network Wizard wireless connection steps.

1. Select Network Wizard
2. Select wlan0 (your network card may have a different description)
3. Select Wireless in the Configure wireless network box.
4. Select Scan and your router WIFI signal should come up.
5. Select your router WIFI signal as device and OK
6. Give a name to your profile. It should already be what you selected in step 5.
7. Encryption. Most people use WPA/TKIP - select it or WPA2.
8. A box will open for you to write the WPA password. It is called a Shared Key. Enter the password.
9. Leave the other boxes as they are. Rarely do these need adjustment.
9. Select Save
10. Select Use This Profile
11. A box will appear showing Puppy trying to connect
12. A box will come up “REPORT ON TEST 0f wlan0CONNECTION”
13. Select Auto DHCP in the Configure interface box and it will go through a handshake routine. and declare itself successful
14. Select done

If something does not work.
What step?
You do what?
You see what?

Also make sure your system's time zone setting is correct - if not, many website's certificates then act as if they are expired, and the webpage won't display.

type in password, but won't connect,
network is [WPA2-PSK-CCMP][CSS]
card is open network, driver NOT WPA compliant,

so

i'm trying to make a wrapper. i have win7, 8, 10 drivers
win7 wrapper is not installed into /lib/modules/5.x.x

any alternative/XP driver?

Ive got the same card.
WPA works for me with Fossa.
I used SNS to connect as wlan0
I dont have WEP

These by themselves aren't usable, they're merely bundles of functions/code (that does thing when you call the said code inside it). Just don't delete them unless you know what you're doing.
