Hello All,
I have a question about installing and running knetwormanager under knoppix 5.1.1. I have been getting into remastering knoppix to customize it to my needs. I have been really enjoying moving to knoppix from suse and ubuntu and so far so good. The one problem I am having is getting my wireless network to connect with wpa enabled. I can use wep to connect but do not want to use it instead of wpa.
I have been through the forum and reviewed the network articles but had little or no luck getting connected. I tried kwifi,madwifi and all utils built into knoppix. All my cards are recognized and my wireless scans no problem in those applications. This leaves me missing knetworkmanger wich I know works on other distros with no problems.
The problem I am having is that I want to scrap the networking tools in the current knoppix and get knetworkmanager to work instead. As I said it is easier to use and worked great in other distros. I also noticed it worked and was installed in kanotix.
I have my software being pulled from debian stable "etch". I do an apt-get install network-manager-kde and the application does install no problem. No errors or anything, the problem is that when I run it I get "no network device found". Is there away to get this application to work?
I really do not want to switch to kanotix because of one issue. Could someone help me? I thank you in advance for any help you can give.
Thanks,
Frank
