I've already tried setting-up netcardconfig manually and it definitely doesn't work for me. I've decided to use PCLinuxOS instead. It comes with far less software than knoppix but at least the basics are working properly. I'm not sure which distribution it's based-on, if any, but I'd recommend it to anyone having trouble with knoppix. It even lets me use a 1280x1024 resolution, which knoppix didn't. I guess I should'nt be plugging a different system on a knoppix site, but if anyone's fed-up with knoppix not working then I strongly suggest them giving it a go.

5.0.1 (2006-06-01) DVD AND CD and networking.
I started to try out the 5.0.1 on a AMD 1 Ghz, 512 MByte with a 3COM NIC. I got a similar
picture of the network trouble as discribed by sean,1986:
a) dhcp configuration worked fine (!) with my DSL router - DHCP server combination provided
by my telecommunication supplier
ifconfig showed up the expected network address, broadcast addr and netmask
b) a ping to the DHCP server failed: host unreachable message.
c) dns and all other services fail
d) while observing ip traffic, I saw activieties on the loop back device while pinging (lo)
e) the 5.0.1-host is also not visible within the local network
f) I tried the full installation of 5.0.1 and did a full manual network configuration.
The malfunction is still the same.
I hope that there is someone out who can put together the dangling ends - I'm sure
the hardware is correct and I saw that the setup of the network worked correctly. The big
question is: why does everything works fine with 4.0.2 (also in my case) - is there a trick
with respect to features of the kernel or something like that (pure speculation)
Best regards

Heh, in fact, when I tried to load a webpage or something, I could see the light on the back of my network adapter flashing. Hope they sort it out because it has bags of decent software.

5.0.1 (2006-06-01) DVD and networking.
I have posted to the 5.0 DVD buglist the following:
For Knoppix 5.0.1 both DVD and CD
1. Several different routers correctly configured several different net chips with DHCP in previous versions and are no longer doing so.
2. There is a problem with hardware detection, specifically: NO /proc/pci which exists in previous versions.
3. Intel and 3COM network chips that worked in previous versions are not being properly detected or configured .
See: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/ (Networking) 5.0.1 (2006-06-01) DVD and networking for details.
I hope these problems are fixed soon. New software and features are nice, but the old stuff has to work or nothing is gained.
