I have no idea how to use the internet

[btiend]

Well, I am used to scanning and then going to my wireless network, but here I can't.
I have tried imputing all of my network's information through the network manager, but I can't seem to go to the internet.
What should I do.
(If you need more information just ask)

open a console, also called; terminal, x-term, konsole, aterm... (equivalent to dos-porompt/komandline in Windows).
there type

sudo iwconfig
and post output here, it will help us know if your card is supported in knoppix and point you to further information.


you can also try to type

sudo iwconfig XXX key "s:whatever" restricted essid ??? nickname ZZZ mode managed

where XXX is network card recognized as wireless in previous command.
??? is your essid
ZZZ is your nickname (if you have one)
key "s:whatever" , can also be , key "7768617461766572" that is key in hex, 77=w 68=h 61=a... note the absence of " s: " , s: tells iwonfig that key is in alfanumeric form not hex. oh and whatever is YOUR key, not the text whatever, i know you are not an idiot, but i have actually been asked why it wont work...
