Help!!! I am a newbie when it comes to Knoppix STD(':oops:'). I have a Linksys Wireless-G PCI card but i cant get STD to recognize it. If i do a iwconfig it says that i have no wifi card. HELP! I have also tried things like netcardconfig and ifconfig but those didnt do anything about recognizing my wifi card. I am farmiliar with Linux and primarily use Red Hat and Yellow Dog but STD is new to me. Any ideas or answers will greatly be appriciated.
Thanks,

The driver might not be included. Ordinarily, it works automagicly.

STD is based on ordinary knoppix, so try searching around for your card here and see if anything turns up.

I would start your search at linksys' website support section, but you may have better results with google.

You can also have a look at The Linux PCI ID Repository (http://pciids.sourceforge.net/iii/?s=1:i=1317) to see if your card is supported.
