What version of Knoppix are you running? Is it 11-08-2002 or eariler? The versions after this fix a dell laptop pcmcia problem.
Hello,
I am new to Linux. When I boot up Knoppix (from CD) everything works except for three problems:
1) My wireless card does not work. I have a netgear MA401 PCMCIA card. I get an error in the startup that says something about
"...the driver was compiled with version 14 and the program is using version 15 . Something may be broken...."
When I try to set the encryption key or SSID I get an error (usually not supported)
2)In X windows I can only go to 1024x 768 but my display and video chip support 1600x 1200. I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 with the nVidia GeForce2GO (mobile).
3) Once I find the commands to configure these, how do I save them (since I cannot write to a CD)?
TIA

The most recent version (December 7th 2002). I do not think it is a PCMCIA issue. The card is recognized. It appears to be a driver or wireless issue. Supposedly there is a driver that works with this card at www.linux.vlan.org. Even if I downloaded it how do get Knoppix to use it (since Knoppix is on a CD)? Where do I save it? Do I create a Linux partition on my HD?
Ok the newest version was actually release today 12-11, but the 12-07 version takes care of the pcmcia problem so right - no problem there. What's odd is that the changelog for the 12-7 release says support is added for prism2-Module (wavelan-ng). This should bring support for your card. I'm not exactly sure what's wrong here. I know that I had to manually reinsert my card a few times before I could get knoppix to detect it and so that I could then run the wlcardconfig script. You may want to try and gather some more info an what's happening and report it to the developer list. http://mailman.linuxtag.org/mailman/...debian-knoppix
To see all the feedback you get when you bootup type: "dmesg |less" at the command line.
As far as your resolution goes, type F2 at boot up to see a list of the cheatcodes. Among those listed will be ones to change your screen resolution. E.G. knoppix screen=1400x1050.
Regarding saving configuragions: if you go to the K menu, then Knoppix you should then see an entry to save your configurations to a floppy. When you reboot type: "knoppix floppyconfig" It will then load the configurations saved to the floppy.
Good luck. If you make any more headway with the card please post the results.
The card is recognized. I have been using iwconfig to try and configure it and I get a SET error.
What wlcardconfig script?
OK on the floppy config. What about log files?
Thanks again for your help and patience.
Used wlanconfig--same SET error.
I have a similar problem with an Orinoco silver card on Dell Inspiron 4000. The orinoco_cs module was loaded alright, but I get SET errors, and incompatible wireless extension versions.
I'm using 12-12-2002 version.
Nobody knows how to set up the SSID for prism2 cards ?
I think using wlanctl-ng is the right way but I do not know what should I do after...
