What kind of ethernet card/chipset/model?

That's an nforce2 board. Best bet is to use a remastered version of Knoppix which has the driver for one of those cards pre-installed.

Or try a PCI network card and disable the onboard ones in the bios.

OK.

But... where I can find a remastered version of Knoppix which has the driver for nforce2 board??

I've found OVERCLOCKIX http://overclockix.octeams.com/ , but it is said that it comes from Knoppix 3.4!!?!?!?!! Some one knows if it works correctly? thanks

Umm... 3.3 2004-02-16 (currently the latest official version) contains the forcedeth drivers so it should also work.

Overclockix "Technomancer" is based on Knoppix 3.2 and has the non-GPL nforce drivers directly from nvidia. The 3.3 version of Knoppix mentoned should also work.

Overclockix 3.4 is still in development and is based on the recent unofficial Cebit magazine release of Knoppix. (It has supports Nforce2 in its 2.4 kernel). There are still bugs though so I don't recommend this version yet.

...mmmm ok. The solution is using tecnomancer, the newest version. Isn't it?

Thanks

3.4 is the newest, but is still beta and has some odd problems. Technomancer was updated recently so all the apps that matter should be up-to-date.

There are some other remasters with the driver you need- ClusterKnoppix, Kanotix, and Morphix as well as a 3.3 version of ordinary knoppix (2-16-04) which had the GPL forcedeth nforce driver.
