Same for me.
I have the same problem when using the cd.
I have installed to hard drive. If you are installed on the hard drive, as su you have to type:
mii-tool -F 10baseT-HD eth0
Then for the first time you run pppoeconf. Follow the instructions for pppoeconf as per your isp.
The only problem I have is that you have to be su and run mii-tool every time followed by pon. I have tried to find a way around this.
Is there a way to use mii-tool on the cd? Is there a cheat code?

KNOPPIX as Hardware tester: realtek rt8139fast ethernet card
Hi All,
I am trying to get cable-internet without succes sofar. Unfortunately Windows 98 doesn't report any conflicts.
But...when I tried to start Knoppix, it totally froze in the startup stage were hardware testing is being carried out.
That was strange because Knoppix worked fine sofar.
I tried several possibilities to convince Knoppix that everything should be fine, but it just froze again and again.
Then I decided to take out my (new installed) ethernetcard, and YES, everything worked fine again.
From now on I will allways let KNOPPIX do the hardware testing.
Frits.

It may be that Knoppix isn't recognising your NIC or perhaps the network isn't coming up.
Boot the disk, open a shell (terminal window) and type this:
netcardconfig
See if that helps. You can also try this at the prompt:
ifup
-that's 'interface up', it should tell you if your network is up or not. Post back with results.

Glad to be of assistance.
Open a term, (you may need to become root- I can't remember) and type this:
sndconfig
Post results of sndconfig if you need help.
