    Hi to everybody.
    Real noob at linux here. First time i am starting it was yesterday and i trying set up my Wi-fi card as shown in this thread but it didn't work. I will explain everything . So my card is build in and it is recognised by Knoppix as eth1. I tried all the steps but in order to connect to my network i should set the following setting can you help me how exactly should i do that? Otherwise i cannot connect to it. Also when i try the pump command as a root it says invalid password, what is the default password for the root :P . Thanks a lot in advance. I hope the questions are not so retarded.

    I Figured it out at the moment i am posting from linux

    click on the little knoppix pinguin
    select root shell
    then type in the commands

    1. Go to the root command line and type... wlcardconfig
    2. Enter your wireless network's name (SSID) when prompted.
    3. Enter your WEP key/password (if your network is encrypted) when prompted.
    4. Leave the other specs blank.
    5. After you complete the config, at the root command line type... pump -i eth0
    (where "0" is the number of your wireless card) (mine was ath0)

    I am runing knoppix 5.0.1
    I am using a pcmcia card but it may be the same

    Wan Access Card Not Detected.

    I've had a dual boot system for years now. But have recently completely abandoned Winblows. With the increased support for Photoshop & Reason through wine. I no longer have any real use for Winblows. Knoppix is great for what I want. Just re-author it until it's to your liking and just use "fromhd" in boot prompt. However I have yet to find a distro of Linux or BSD that supports my on board wan card. Have a Toshiba Satellite A100. The manual doesn't tell me anything at all specific about the card other than it's supposed to support 802.11( a/b/g). I've tried tracking down drivers for it but find nothing but Winblows CRAP! Can't get them to work in wine btw. wlcardconfig ifconfig iwconfig are all well and good when the card is detected. I've had the most success and reliability with Knoppix. I'm wondering if there is a solution that isn't a new card. I quite enjoyed having the on off switch for the card. And to answer the possible question, yes the switch is in the on position. If I could just get the OS to detect the card I'd be in the clear. My knowledge is good enough that I'm fine once that point has passed. If anyone could help me that'd be fantastic. I should also mention that i am running Knoppix version 5.0. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

    Thoric.

    According to this page, you can get it to work by using NDISWRAPPER. I think NDISWRAPPER is still included with KNOPPIX, so you can skip the "apt" install steps:

    http://www.apeman.org/2006/08/27/108/

    It also referred to your wireless chipset as an "Atheros AR5006GE". So you may be able to use GOOGLE to find more information about using this chipset with Linux in general. Maybe it is now supported by the Linux native madwifi drivers. Who knows?

    So did you get it working yet? How did you sort out the issue of it giving you a operation failed after the push command?
