I presently have a successful XP wireless connection from my Laptop HP dv5094EA to a 'central' PC (XP) with a Belkin Wireless G Router.
I have so far failed to make a wireless laptop Internet connection using Linux Knoppix 5.0.1 live DVD (from Linux User & Developer, issue 65), after successful Knoppix installation (but only with 'cheat' nodma) . I have tried several forum suggestions under networking and laptops, without success.
At the Microsoft Windows XP command line, “ipconfig /all� gives:

For Linux wireless using ndiswrapper and netcardconfig I am asked for, inter alia:
“L0 DHCP ( .. no)
L1 IP address for eth0
L2 Network mask for eth0
L3 Broadcast address for eth0
L4 Default gateway
L5 Nameserver
L6 Essid for eth0
L7 NWID (cell id), if needed
L8 Mode ( .. managed)
L9 Channel number ( .. 11)
L10 Frequency of eth0
L11 Encryption key (? Wep –sp)
L12 Additional info., sens-80, rts 512,freq 512,rate 5.5M
L13 Additional info., for ‘iwspy eth0’, if needed
L14 Additional info., for ‘iwpriv eth0’, if needed�
The labels M1-12 and L1-14 are mine, and I need to know which (if any) of the Microsoft M1-12 are to be used in the Linux L1-14? , hence a Linux-Microsoft wireless ‘dictionary’.
Finally, in running ndsiwrapper I use file bcmwl5.inf, which exists (search) in XP folders/directories:
C:\swsetup\sp33008a
C:\swsetup\sp31463a
C:\swsetup\wilan
C:\programfiles\broadcom\broadcom 802.11\driver
C:\windows\system32\reinstallbackups\0005\driver files
Which of the five should I use?
Any specific help on the above would be greatly appreciated: I am reasonably PC literate, but my Linux knowledge and skills are very small.
