Hello,
I recently installed Puppy on my dinosaur laptop (this (http://support.gateway.com/s/Mobile/Solo_Series/P2150/P2150nv.shtml) one). I'm a fan, but my PCMCIA wireless card, from Belkin, doesn't work (I've been through the network wizard, which didn't work, and the few modules I tried didn't work either).
How do I get it to work?
Thank you.

it will usually suggest a module for you to use. start with that, then do autodhcp.
what does lspci say? we would need to know the chipset of the card.

The module it suggested didn't work. Um...what's autodhcp? (I'm sorry about my ignorance...)

it's what tou have to run after you put in your wireless info. it's the first window that pops up.

Eh...am I doing something wrong? I go to Menu>Setup>Network Wizard, and then it just gives me the option to load a module (and clicking on that gives me the ndiswrapper option too).
Thanks for your help though.
