Hi
Finally got round to trying Knoppix this afternoon - very impressed. However cannot seem to configure my wifi card which is an Avaya Silver PC Card (rebadged Wavelan/Lucent/Orinoco card).
The card is recognised, the correct modules are being loaded etc but then I'm stuck. I'm unabl;e to configure the card with either the "Wavelan Configuration" tool ('no card found') or using iwconfig ("incompatibile versions of wireless extensions packages"). Any hints as to what I should try next?
