@Jasper - re- the 5.15.131 aoum kernel, the rtl8821ce wifi driver is showing 0 downloads - you need this particular pet installed to get wifi: https://www.mediafire.com/file/i5st9u2d ... m.pet/file

Re: Wireless card working in earlier Puppy, but not later one.

Was not able to compile wl in Jammypup32. Code was either too old or 64bit only, despite several attempts.

Re: Wireless card working in earlier Puppy, but not later one.

Those cards need the wl driver, which has to be compiled for the kernel being used. jammypup32 (22.04-240208) is not usrmerge, so my 5.10.189 32bit kernel (in forum Kernels section) has a driver (in forum Drivers section).

@wizard @Marv - this wireless driver is available in kernels 6.2 on, but must be compiled in. I didn't do that, but will make a 6.7 usrmerge kernel in the next few hours, with the rtw89 drivers.

Ah, so you are running bookworm as non-usrmerge? This .pet has .ko's in /usr/lib/modules, as per usrmerge.

mmmrr - sadly, your bionic32 is too old for this version of palemoon. glibc is a basic linux component which cannot be easily updated. You could try an older 32bit version of Palemoon.

Re: s15pup64-ovrly - overlayfs-only pup

@Clarity - this function works ok in aufs, but less so (in my view) for overlayfs. I was planning to possibly work on a march 2024 s15pup. In the interim I'll see if I can improve on my earlier attempts, including looking at other s15pups.
As our aufs man is back on deck, the urgency is less.
