I've got the same card as you do and have used it in several different versions of Knoppix without any problems.
I would check to make sure you're on the right channel, have the correct SSID, using a valid WEP key and if the AP is using MAC filtering, your MAC is on the list.

I'm using the same channel (verified that several times), the ESSID I've checked several times and also tried having it set to use any, my MAC is already on the list (had to manually do it since the router didnt detect my card) and I copied the WEP key down letter for letter and doubled checked that too.
I did some looking last night on the web and found a couple reports of some people with the same issue, this model router not seeing some cards and therefore DHCP not working.
How would I switch between 64 bit and 128bit encryption, or is that done automatically depending on what key I give it.

Ok, I disabled the encryption on a whim (tried it cause the one page I read where the guy had the same problem where he couldnt get a DHCP connection with the same model router I'm using said that it was the encryption that was knocking him out), and I was able to connect with the laptop and card without any problems (as a matter of fact, I'm using it as we speak). Now, find out how to have the encryption AND be able to connect...
Don't know if its a router issue, or if the card is trying to use 64 bit encryption (the Gold is supposed to be switchable, but dunno if thats automatic or manual)
