Knoppix with Dell Wireless WLAN 1350 WLAN Mini-PCI Card
Hi All
I am new user to Knoppix, installed knoppix3.7 very recently.My wireless network connection doesnt seem to work.
While booting knoppix i could see only only ETH0 getting detected and not Wlan.
Would you please let me know what i need to do in order to set up the wireless connection.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1150.
Thank You

You didn't say what chipset your card uses.
You can find out by running
lspci
from a terminal.
I believe your notebook comes with a broadcom wireless
card.There are no native drivers for broadcom,but it is
supported by ndiswrapper.This is a wrapper that uses your
windows driver to run the card.It's included on knoppix.
http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/
Look for your chipset on the wiki link.
Read the installation link.
Copy your windows drivers somewhere knoppix
can access them.
Search this group for ndiswrapper.
Configuring these cards has been discussed here recently.
Basically,from a prompt
sudo su
ndiswrapper -i /path/to/your/bc*.inf
modprobe ndiswrapper
wlcardconfig
netcardconfig
If you have problems,post the output of lspci and any error
messages.
Have Fun
