I'm using a linksys WPC11 PCMCIA v3 wireless card on a Dell Inspiron 7000. With Knoppix 3.4

I've gotten Knoppix to see the card and connect to my AC, as I can ping internal and external address. I can pull up www.apple.com...once.

The strange thing is that after I ping a few places, or try to follow one of the links on www.apple.com the connection quality drops from 86/90 to 8/90.

Doing a 'cardctl reset' resets the connection. After I do this, the connection qulaity is restored and I can ping a few sites and pull up www.apple.com again, but then the same thing happens after I try to access another link.

I can never access anything via Mozilla or Konquerer. Its starts to pull up the page and then dies about 25% of the way through.

I've tried changing channels, turning off WEP, etc.

I've also tried doing iwconfig eth0 frag xxx and rts xxx, but those numbers doing stick. When I do another iwconfig, there set to off. Commit doesn't work either.

Signal levels go from -143 to 4/153 ... don't know what this means.
Noise levels go from -145 to 116/153 ... again don't know what this means.

I've search around and found this thread: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...742&highlight= but its all about 3.3 and none of the suggested changes worked.

I'm sure I've missed some setting, but which one?
