Dell Inspiron 6000 problems with wireless
ok first off im running a dell inspiron 6000 with celeron 1.4 ; 1gig ddr2 ; DELL WIRELESS 1470 Dual Band minipci card (built in) and running knoppix 5.0.1 (linux 2.6) and i cant seem to get the wireless card working.when it boots it finds two ehternet adapters eth1 and eth0 (not sure wich one is wich).I get into kde and try to run wlcardconfig and it tells me there are no cards installed.so i try to install the drivers thru the ndiswrapper configuration with this driver (bcmwl5.inf) and it tells me that the files are not .inf or that they are corrupted. I cant ping . cant assign an ip and i cant use wired .i really need some help...

no lights light up either so could it be a pcmcia problem?
my card is netgear model wg511t.
p.s. is this the string to post in for wifi?
Hi there,
I too am having a similar problem trying to get my wireless pcmcia card running under knoppix. I am somewhat of a linux noob... sorry in advance.
I have a Thinkpad T30, a Linksys WPC54G v 2 adapter, and Knoppix 5.0. Basically, Knoppix does not seem to detect my network card. When I list them, I see only eth0, which is my Ethernet connection. Also no lights light up when the linksys card is plugged into the pcmcia slot, which was my first indication that something was wrong. I don't believe I am running in failsafe more or anything like that... at least I did not explicitly set to that.
Interestingly though, I noticed that if I run command "dmesg" I see the following when I plug a the card in and unplug it:
pccard: card ejected from slot 0
pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0
But still if I run KInfoCenter, it states that no PCMCIA device is detected in either slot. which is a little perplexing.
Little help? Thanks!

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 command line type... pump -i eth0
(where "0" is the number of your wireless card)
i em having a problem with step 5 when i enter it i get
pump: must be run as root
I'em not even shure what that meens

It means that you need to run that command as user "root" instead of as user "knoppix" (which is default). You can do this with command sudo
So e.g. instead of pump -i eth0 use sudo pump -i eth0

Sorry, but I can't help more. I don't have any experience about wireless internet.

Dell e1505 wireless nw
When I type: wlcardconfig the machine returns no wireless card found.
If I type netcardconfig and accept DHCP it fails.
If I type netcardconfig and enter no for DHCP, accept all of the default addresses it tells me it is setting the name server in /etc/resolv.conf to 192.*.*.* but I am trying to do this from CD boot--so it cannot write, unless it is writing to RAM.
I like to try and see if I could get this working with the CD before installing as dual boot
thanks

Hi all - First post so excuse my noobishness.
I have a Dell Latitude D505 with no internal wireless and a Linksys Wireless G USB network adaptor but can't get the adaptor to work and get on the internet.
Basically I plug it in and although KInfoCenter says its there the power light doesn't come on and wlcardconfig returns no cards found.
What am i missing?
