Compaq v4000 Broadcom 4318 'Can't find networks'

I am a little more than a day new with linux/Knoppix and am having trouble accessing the internet. I am not able to try wired access yet but will tomorrow. I first used KWiFiManager and it could not find a network. I did some searching on the forum and elsewhere.

I set up using wlcardconfig
netcardconfig fails finding 'no such file or directory.
pump -i eth0 fails

That is all that I can remember trying. I tried a few other I believe. I really want to get this working as I would like to make the switch to linux.

Thank you for any help.

I think in your case the wifi connection is eth1 not eth0.

From the root shell, check what your network devices are"up" (i.e. activated) with the command: ifconfig
Then see whether there any other network devices which are available but "down" with: ifconfig -a

If you find for example the wifi device is eth1 and it does not show up in ifconfig, then this means it could be "down". In this case, bring it up with: ifconfig eth1 up

Then do the other steps like you have done below.

You will probably have more luck with wired access, though.
