Anyone uses an external Linksys USB wireless-B adapter?

Hi all, Just started using Linux a month ago. Very impressed with how nice Linux is compared to Windows. I have installed Knoppix on a couple of office machines and my colleagues love it. Their machines are linked via ethernet cables to the router and they can get online fine. However I have one machine that connects via USB cable to the ADSL modem and Knoppix cannot get it online. What steps should I try? I'd really appreciate any suggestions on steps to try. Thank you.

type lspci and see what it gives you. Any USB devices listed?

Hi, below is the output of running lspci and lsusb, I should also mention that its an Aztech ADSL Ethernet USB combo router (model DSL305EU) with Conexant CX82310 168 MHz ARM 940T microprocessor which I'm connecting to via USB cable.
