Hi everybody!
This is my first message here and I am quite new with Knoppix. Anyway I downloaded Knoppix DVD v 5.3.1 and it's really awesome.
But I couldn't so far make my wireless card work.
This card is an Intel Wireless 3945ABG and the computer I am using is a DELL Latitude D630.
Knoppix detects wlan0 when booting and I can see the interface by typing ifconfig, but I cannot see any network with Kwifimanager, or receive any packets with WireShark, basically it is as if the interface was not working at all.
I will cut and paste the results of a couple of commands I have issued:
after typing
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:3a:12:32:43

and when I type:
root@Knoppix:~# ifup wlan0
Operation failed.
Failed to bring up wlan0.

Any tips will be highly appreciated :roll:
