Will clearwire work with puppy linux?

not the card, but the box with ethernet cable.
Will it work without any special configuration?

Thanks.

 

One way to find out, try it.

That is the beauty of the LiveCD.

 

Yes, but it's not for me. A friend of mine has a win 98 computer that doesn't run so well. I'm almost certain Puppy will put some life back in it, but he has clearwire, so I don't know if the internet will work, and I don't want to go all the way over there to have it not work.

Certainly someone knows? I googled it a bit, but I didn't really find anything.

 

I have not had to configure anything for ethernet with any distro including puppy (@ a dozen).

Tell it is ethernet and usually follow defaults.

My cable modem is RCA.

I am also going through a Netgear router, which doesn't seem to matter either.

 

Ok. I'll give it a try and hope it works. The only reason I doubt it will just work is because it's wireless, and I know for adapters, linux makes it really difficult to use. Of courseclearwire isn't an adapter, so I don't know.

 

Wireless may be a problem. But you can always hard wire it to get proper drivers. Hopefully. I don't use wireless.

 

That's what clearwire is. I've seen commercials about it and it's a box that uses an ethernet cable.

 

Apparently, minime, which is a remaster of PCLinuxOS, works quite well with wireless.

It is @ 300MB. Can install whatever on it to make it a full blown OS.

May want to download it and take it as well.

It does not set-up connection automatically but is done with the utilities folder on the desktop once installed/running.

It is a LiveCD to boot. Pun intended.
