Dell Inspirion 6000 - IceWeasel can't get to internet
Thrilled to be moving back to Unix/linux environment after a couple decades of windows!!
(Not thrilled that the trojans
made the move critical as in Yesterday!!) But, don't want to reformat my HD until I know for sure that I can still have access to the internet! That is what I LOVE about the Knoppix CD OS!! Found it, downloaded it, burned it, it is bootable, and I can move files, read files, etc.
BUT IceWeasel does not connect to the internet. Searched and tried the fixes that worked for others:
I tried options and choosing autofind - still no success.
I also tried about:config and toggling the network.dns.disableIPv6 to true.
Neither worked.
Windows Device Manager gives the following for Network adapters:
1394 Net Adapter
Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller
Intel(r) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection
Radio is enabled in Windows, using wireless DSL - connects fine in windows
Any ideas on what else I should try?
Thanks so much for your time and consideration!!
PS - please be VERY specific with any suggestions - although I am from a DOS/Unix background decades of windows has made me VERY rusty!! Thanks again!

Knoppix and wireless thread
http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...r=asc&start=10
Okay, Harry, you convinced me, I'm trying Puppy.
My desktop friends are THRILLED to have a bootable Knoppix to play with, so you may see them here soon!
I will be watching this thread. If I can get Knoppix to work on wireless, I'll be back, too.
Thanks so much!
