i need help with wireless card...

[nestle]

hi,
i have installed knoppix 3.8 and everithing is ok.

the only problem is that my wireless card doesn't work fine; i have an intel2200 wireless lan card.

knoppix seems to find it and if i go to wi-fi pannel and i try to search the network i find my network home. the problem is that i can't connect to it. from the small windows with the list of the connection i can see my lan but i can't select it.

how could i solve?

could someone explain me?

You should not use gui stuff for working with network interfaces. They're all right for monitoring the status of your connection and stuff, but changing configurations requires root privs.
open a command prompt and type "su" to get into root mode
type your root password
First, type ifconfig to see if the system sees your card.
find the interface name - you will be using it a lot.
Do you use encryption? if so, type:
iwconfig <interface_name> enc <key> commit
pump -i <interface_name>
if not, just type:
pump -i <interface_name>

Get back to us if that doesn't work.
