Wireless Kernel differences 4.1 vs 4.2

Howdy... I just found out you guys were here... I live a sheltered life!
MacPup Opera, based of course on 4.2 v2, wont find my wireless device on two seperate laptops. Yet Puppy 4.2 Retro does. Yes I am sure that this is a Kernel problem, I have struggled with this same issue with my Mac's with various distros. Do you suppose that there is something in 4.2R driver wise, that I can grab whilst it is up and connected, and put it into MacPup Opera to get some headway??? If No... Just gimme the Sign!
Other Ideas for a mac refuge... that means I am a GUI type... Drag-n-Drop is my game!!!
Thanks Till Yer better Paid RP
BTW, I want MI on the "who has downloaded Macpup" Map!!!

I think that the drivers depend on the kernel, so you can swap them. What I would suggest is trying Macpup foxy 3.0 , It has lots of drivers and you can install opera in it if you like that browser.

Yea I gathered "can't" due to kernel.
Good News! First time I ever went to a newer version in order to get back to where I was [driver wise]
And best part is... Works perfect, I'm on it now. Thanks.
