Knoppix doesnt recognize network card after HD install?

[diablo266]

Hello everyone, i have an orinoco gold classic network card (the original) and it worked fine when knoppix was running off the cd, but after doing a hd install it is not detected by wlcardconfig so i cant put in my wep key. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Same probs here. I have installed Knoppix on several hard drives with Netgear cards and never had this problem. Boot w/CD and everything works fine. Boot from HD and nic not recognized. Netcardconfig reports no nics found. There has to be an answer.

I have a fix for this... at least for mine.
It would appear that at boot it tries to start the networking and pcmcia service twice and causes the orinoco card to flake out.

Here is how I get my orinoco gold card to start working on my knoppix hdd install.
if you do
ps aux
you will see that there is /sbin/pump running and it is trying to get an ip address for the wireless card.
type in as root
killall pump
then
/etc/init.d/networking stop
then
/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
then run
netcardconfig
this will then setup your ip address and then kick over to your wireless settings.

This procedure worked for me. Let me know if it worked for you.
