I think you can stop digging now. See my Post #10.
And, well done.
Knoppix forum,
I can only find these OLD Hotlinks to activate Wifi:
http://smtp.knoppix.net/wiki/Network...ppix_5.1.1_FAQ
http://smtp.knoppix.net/wiki/Network...ppix_5.3.1_FAQ
Is there anything NEW, or are the OLD DOCS still valid?
Reply requested, please . . .

I expect Klaus2008 may be able to show you how, but
building and installing b43 from scratch is probably a more difficult exercise than you want to undertake.
If or when Klaus K tackles this problem, I would expect to see the result around mid-year in an update on Knoppix 7.0.
I would not necessarily expect to see an amended 6.7.1.
An external wifi, compatible with your computer would be a possible interim solution.
I use that approach to get some of the other distributions going.

At your convenience...
for your 6.4.3 LiveCD, I'd like to see:
ls /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/net/wireless
and for b43 or any b43... directory, for example
ls /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy
also less /boot/config*|grep -i b43
and less /boot/config*|grep -i wl
I would like to know if 6.4.3 somehow had both b43 AND wl
built into its kernel. I'm pretty sure this NOT the case
for 6.7.1 and 6.4.4. It will make it a lot easier if we
can build BOTH into the kernel and just activate only the
right one. I'm not sure that's possible, but perhaps 6.4.3
will tell us it is.

Is this OK, so I can step-and-repeat the others?

Dear utu:
I need more details of your external wifi setup? I'm picturing something like the
digital camera connected via USB cable to the micro's I/O. Knoppix 6.7.1 DVD
would be the only reason to approach your suggestion. Therefore, finding an
external wifi that matches 6.7.1 package would be my concern. Any suggestions?
I/O on the hp dv8000 notebook is USB 2.0

@ luther
Almost.
I specifically want to see sudo ls /lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/b43.
I'm pretty sure b43 is a directory with something in it.
And thanks.
