Problem with Knoppix recognizing Trendnet Wireless PCI card

I have been using Windows for years and I finally decided to move to Linux. I have tried about 20 distros and so far Knoppix is the one I like the best. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't recognize my wireless network adapter. It is the Trendnet TEW-423PI. I have heard of people on other distros such as Feather using the win 98 driver for it, but I havn't been able to get even the OS to recognize it. I'm a newb asking for what ever help you can give me. Thanks!
