Hi!

I'm sorting out my own weirdness with a Belkin card, but here is something that partly solved the "no network card" thing in a clumsy way:

Remove the wireless net card, THEN start up knoppix. When it's settled in, shove the network card in and see if it works. That's what mine does unless I boot from a live CD with no saved configuration. In that case, knoppix knows the card is there, but won't connect with it till I configure uit with wavelan and network card config.

When it's not working, go to "K menu-System-InfoCenter-PCMCIA" to see if your system even knows you have the card in the slot. If it identifies the card but doesn't connect, click on Network interfaces to see if you received an IP address from whatever's acting as the DHCP server in your network. If not, first go to Knoppix-Network/Internet-Wavelan to enter the ESSID and channel and anything else needed for your access point or router, then go to Knoppix-Network/Internet-Netwrk card configuration and give a Yes to DHCP.
