The thread linked to below describes the info needed, and how to find it. Wireless Setup - Start Here I have never used Puppy, so I don't know what it uses to manage connections. But i can still help you get the driver up and running. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.

Something like this: /usr/bin/lsusb I don't know where it actually is located on your system. You may be able to locate it with the find or locate commands. Code: find lsusb Code: locate lsusb __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.

You also can download a .pet package to a usb stick and transfer it to you puppy box to install.
