I have done a HD install of knoppix 3.3 and the wireless nic (using orinoco driver) was recognised and was working well (after wlcardconfig and netcardconfig). Then I did a apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade. Once it completed, I rebooted the system and now the system does not recognise my wireless card. Has anyone else faced the same problem? Any resolution to this problem?

BTW, I was using knoppix 3.2 HD install until recently and apt-get upgrade did not mess up my wireless setup.

Cheers,
Azeem

Hi,
the "apt-get upgrade" install the "wlan-ng" package. Your wi-fi card will be wlan0 instead of eth0. You can find all the files you need in /etc/pcmcia

...take a look at wireless.opts..

hope this helps,

What about cardmgr? Is it running after the upgrade? You can check like this:


ps aux| grep cardmgr

What does that return?
