[titomax82]

I'm using Knoppix 6.2.1 CD version installed to USB (persistent) but it dosen't recognize my usb wireless adpater "Netgear WPN111".... how can I make it work? do I need ndiswrapper? how to install it? what package must i download....and how can i download them...please help...i'm so noob :(

Probably you only option is to compile ndiswrapper and use windows driver for it

I agree with Mecho, it's probably best to use the Windows driver. If you can overlook the "Ubuntu-ness" of it, this install guide (http://rosstripi.wordpress.com/2010/07/18/getting-the-netgear-wpn111-usb-wireless-adapter-to-work-in-ubuntu-linux-or-any-other-linux-distro-for-that-matter/) looks pretty good. Should work, I think, and do take note of the "known issues!"

Cheers!
