knoppix 3.3 and knoppix std0.1 will boot up just fine with out the wireless card in the comp, however if i pop it in and boot it hangs once it finds it, i know this because it displays the "prism 2" wireless card ect... if i boot up knoppix then pop the card in i get 1 BEEP and it is locked up... on a side note i get nothing on my laptop with any version of knoppix 3.4, i get the black screen after i hit return to boot...
