I saw you mention this in the news thread also, would very much like more information.
A number of years ago I did find one router that Knoppix would not DHCP handshake with properly, even though Windows would. ( A Belkin 802.11b router that Belkin never supported properly and never released firmware upgrades for, they phased it out for a different hardware platform that they did support). But the problem seemed to be the way the router did the dhcp handshake and that once they got it working with Windows they decided it was good to go and that it didn't really follow the DHCP protocol. All other routers that I have tried (including a newer Belkin) have worked fine.
I'm very disappointed with Knoppix 6.x so far, and have not run it much. (Quite honestly I see all 5.x versions as a step backwards from 4.02). But the little I have tried 6.x I have had no problem with Internet connections, and I always use a router.

Hi, I'm posting from Knoppix right now. As I had imagined, it was a matter of restarting the connection (only that wouldn't work through network-manager, so I found 'networking' service in /etc/init.d). In Root Terminal:
Code:
# /etc/init.d/networking restart
(ubuntu connects ok and Antix-8, although connecting at boot, needs to have the connection restarted after login screen or has the connection triggered if a super-user operation is performed - to mention Debian based distros).

Basically the steps as described by iki.
What had confused me before was that after entering my login and password under "DSL" a dialog window appeared asking me to define a password for what Knoppix' called (and what roughly translates from German into) the "default bunch of keys". At the beginning I didn't know what was meant by that. Every time I start the DSL connection another dialog window opens asking whether to allow access to the default bunch of keys (once/always) or not. Also, I wasn't aware that you can choose between the various connections (and connection types) established when clicking the Network Manager icon. To me, that was the most useful hint given by iki.
So once you know how it all works it is really easy.
All this works regardless of ADRIANE being enabled or disabled, at least in my case.

It should be mentioned that of course routers can become the target of online attacks and manipulations with a serious impact as well.

Sure, anything can if you don't take care and stay aware of what is going on. None the less, there are vastly more infested PCs out on the Internet than infested routers. You statement should certainly not be used as an excuse to not protect a PC with a router.

Yeah right, of course not.
I just finished reading an article which describes, among other things, that a router's firewall might be manipulated (reprogrammed) and deactivated by means of CrossSiteRequestForgery.
