As long as you are talking ethernet and not some usb hunk-o-junk, any router should work with Knoppix and Linux just fine. There is a big difference between a manufacturer not supporting you when using Linux (holding your hand) and the router not working with Linux. In fact, Belkin makes the only one that I have ever seen that would not work (it didn't do DHCP properly, could still be used if you manually configured the connection). This is far different from wireless NICs that frequently do not work with Linux and there is no Linux driver or even technical information that would allow a programmer to write a driver. Routers need no special software on the Linux box.

are you saying that Belkin routers won't work onl linux even if connected directly with ethernet? Because I am using a Belkin router right now directly connected with an ethernet cable and when I boot, DHCP discover seems to work fine. Or are you meaning that it won't work with wi-fi, I'm not quite sure what you mean, if you could clarify that would be very helpful

I'm saying that I have seen (and have) one old Belkin (model F5D6231-4 Ver 1000) that failed to DHCP handshake properly with Linux. Others may have this problem too, I do not know, although since code often gets reused it seems likely. I have another Belkin that does not have this problem. I never said it extended through the complete Belkin line, only that I had seen one with the problem.
