I have problems configuring my network connection ,I use a dlink dwl-122 usb wlan-card on my laptop and running knoppix 3.4,when I try to configur it with netcardconfig I get an error message "dhcp broadcast from device wlan0 operation failed".
I´m booting knoppix from the cd so i can´t save changes in "interfaces".
What can I do ? where can i get info how to configure it ?
Thanks !

Rudy, did you ever get the DWL-122 USB adapter to work? I have the same one and I'm having a lot of fun (ha) trying to get it going. So far I can get AirSnort to recognize it but thats all.
Sure would be nice to be able to save the changes

Hi Mark:
I´m not sure if the card has been properly detected(my gues that is not ) How can you see that?I´m kind of new to linux.
By the way ,how did you get AirSnort to detect the card?

Here is what I was able to do so far:
boot with USB adapter NOT installed
from the console/terminal run
modprobe prism2 -r
log in as root by issuing the following command from console:
su
install the network adapter and issue the following from the console:
modprobe prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=<SIDName> authtype=opensystem
ifconfig wlan0
(where SIDName is the name you assigned when you set up the router)
then I started airsnort from the console.
I have to have root privilages. If I follow the above as KNOPPIX it
does not work
I hope that helps you. If you find anything out let me know
