Much as the title says Knoppix 3.4 (being ran from CD) won't detect my onboard lan (gigalan).

I'm a newb with anything Linux so I might just be overlooking something.

So far I've ran the network card detect utility thingy and it says there is no network adaptor.

Well I'm posting from the same computer under windows XP so I'm fairly certain there is.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
