Installing modules? P.S: And talking about routers.
Hi,
I want to install a module for my wireless card.
Is there any way to get it onto a Knoppix System with an Image File or sth. else?
But i don't want to install Knoppix on my HDD.

man ndiswrapper I am having trouble with my wi-fi card under linux, even with ndiswrapper, but this is because the vendor of the Dell TruMobile 1300 doesn't support linux I think, I will probably use Linuxant. Anyway, back to your question, if ndiswrapper will work for your card, you will need the inf files (the driver) for your card, ndiswrapper will use this to get your card working. The inf file for your card should be on your computer on windows somewhere, or you can try and find it online. For more specific help, you should give some system specs and the model of wifi card you are using

I'm using a Ralink RT2500 USB Card (or RT 2570 USB).
Does this work with Knoppix and can i install that program on it?
And I only have a .sys file for my Card...
I found it in the driver details for my card.

I don't know if that one will work or not, google "Ralink RT2500 USB Card Linux support" or something like that to see, although I hear that usb wi-fi support for linux isn't good (I think I read that in a post here plus via personal research) but if it does work, download the inf driver, or locate it in windows put a copy of it on a thumdrive or on the ramdisk of your knoppix ramdisk and then on the command line type:
Code:
sudo ndiswrapper -i /path_to_your_inf_driver_file.inf
If you don't know the name of your inf file to pull of your windows machine or to download, google "Ralink RT2500 USB Card inf driver or file" or something to that effect also good luck, hopefully that will be of help, I believe that there is some further configuration that you need to do once the inf file is loaded under ndiswrapper with kwifimanger, but I don't know much about that part because my card wouldn't work under ndiswrapper so I didn't get to kwifimanager, but if you run into trouble post in here and hopefully somebody else will be able to help you beyond ndiswrapper.

I got it working, but now it doesn't detect our Router so that I can't get into the internet.
How can i get that working?

First I need to know what model the router you are using is and something about its configuration before I can help you further.

This article was written by a user who had a similar problem it looks like the manufacturer of the router doesn't support linux or mac os x this is a common problem with alot of hardware manufacturers because they are in bed w/ M$ or are too lazy to make open hardware that will be as platform independent as possible
Also, I got the impression that the router sucks in general, does it give you any trouble in windows sometimes? I would suggest a Belkin router, they are fairly cheap and work great w/ 802.11b/g support (I am refering to belkin products in the US in CA state, idk about their prices in other countries)

Hm, maybe i change my ISP too, because my ISP is the Deutsche Telekom^^.
I have a friend who told me that another ISP gives you a great Router, but i don't know if that router can be used with Knoppix and/or Linux.
