Knoppix 6.3 Live CD Wired Connection

[Capricorny]

Thanks for the replies.

I'm using my wired eth0 ADSL2 modem router connection on Fedora 12 to post this as all my attempts to get a connection on Knoppix 6.3 have failed.

Output from "ifconfig" shows no eth0 data only lo data so it doesn't seem eth0 is recognised.

The Network Manager Applet 0.7.99 task bar icon shows a red cross alongside it. When Editing A Wired Connection any attempt to input a MAC address greys out the Apply box so the settings cannot be applied.

I cannot get my ADSL2 modem router settings page to display on Firefox or Chrome.

I've reported the problem to bugs@knopper.net as advised on page 32 of Linux Magazine 113.

And you still don't give us any detailed hardware info, like the output of lspci -v..
Quite often, it is possible to get around hardware detection/initiallization problems by either turning off parts of the automatic procedures or doing the initialization manually.
