Hey I just switched to Knoppix and am really new to linux, I dont know how to find or install drivers but Knoppix does not detect my WLAN card, the only real info I have is that the card is a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN I dont know if there is more information that I can provide to make finding a driver easier but any help would be greatly appreciated. I hate windows but cannot really make the switch until I have my wireless up...

Thanks for all your help.

Step 1 is to list your hardware. From a linux terminal type

lcpci -v

and post the output

I am sure this is a rediculously newbie question, trying to use that command and it says...

"bash: lcpci: command not found"

really dont know what to do at this point, it seems that the pci might refer to a mcpci card that would have wifi, but my wireless card is internal if that helps. Is there possibly another command where I can run through the hardware I have?

Thanks again for your help...

Sorry, mu mistake a typo:
the command should be:

lspci -v

this will list the pci bus on your computer.
