    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!
