Internet
Ok, I am on a cable modem that is run through a router. How can I get my internet to work? My NIC is an HP EN1207D-TX PCI 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter

Hmm. Assuming your card was detected and configured properly and your router is set up to hand out addresses via dhcp, it should have been configured automatically. Since it wasn't try, running netcardonfig. Perhaps you will need to put in your network info manually.
If you are still having problems, post the output of:
lspci -v
and
iwconfig

RE: Internet problems (NIC)

My NIC is an HP EN1207D-TX...
</snip>
This card uses a MX EN5038A1 chip, which (from a quick scan of Google) seems to be VERY poorly supported under ANY version of Linux. Shame on HP! I had the same problem with an SMC TX-1211 card. You would think that brand-name hardware would "just work."
What I wound up doing was getting another NIC. Fortunately, Knoppix LOVES the Realtek RTL8139 chip, and there are at least 2 common cards that use it: the D-Link DFE-530TX+ and the Encore ENL832-TX+. The D-Link card sells for about $12 (I got it free with my DSL kit), I bought the Encore card for $8. Both work equally well with my DSL modem and Knoppix; I would recommend them to anyone using Knoppix; it's my new "default" NIC. A bonus: the Encore drivers for Windows are newer.
