Backwards Compatibility BUG

[luther]

An external wifi, compatible with your computer would be a possible interim solution.
I use that approach to get some of the other distributions going.

Dear utu:

I need more details of your external wifi setup? I'm picturing something like the
digital camera connected via USB cable to the micro's I/O. Knoppix 6.7.1 DVD
would be the only reason to approach your suggestion. Therefore, finding an
external wifi that matches 6.7.1 package would be my concern. Any suggestions?
I/O on the hp dv8000 notebook is USB 2.0

I use a Netgear wg111v2 to work with Ubuntu & clones. See, for example:

I bought mine from Surplus a few years back for $10 or $15.
This gets around my Broadcom nightmare with Ubuntu clones.
It might help for Knoppix. I can't say, since I never needed it for that.
