Posting from within DebianDog butt using elinks because dillo can't cope with hn log-in Even for broadcom/intel &c adaptors unless no-proprietary-wifi is part of the deal.Įdit: as I thought, wifi works with a wifi adaptor that does not require firmware blob. I suspect that this is aimed at older desktops for music/browsing &c.įood for thought: if planning a small live image like this, spend a lot of time and testing making sure that wifi will work in a logical way with graphical UI straight out of the box.
It might be a firmware thing, so I'll try it on an old Thinkpad that has an atheros wifi card. I will have to actually read the documentation/google to work out what to do to get wifi working. Running lsmod suggests that the iwlwifi modules are loaded. Then it attempted to scan for network but found none.
There is a tray icon for managing network configurations (right-click) but it did nothing at all until I dropped into terminal and ran 'ifconfig wwlan0 up'. Networking does not appear to use the network manager, wpasupplicant is installed. Runs like Puppy (copies image to ram so very fast UI and logs in as root user) which is why I imagine the author is explaining that although it shares the puppy linux approach to things, it uses Debian native package management.
