Will my wifi card work?

[jacksonon]

Hi! I have searched for info on this board related to getting my wifi card to work. I am using a Live version of Knoppix 3.6.

Here is the relevant (I think) part of the startup process that I see on my screen.

PCMCIA found starting cardmgr
cardmgr[96]: starting, version is 3.2.5
cardmgr[96]: socket 1: CardBus hotplug device
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27/kernal/drivers/hotplug/shpchp.o:init_module Operation not permitted
insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You can find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27/kernal/drivers/hotplug/shpchp.o: insmod shpchp failed
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27/kernal/drivers/hotplug/pciehp.o: init_module: Operation not permitted
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.27/kernal/drivers/hotplug/pciehp.o: insmod pciehp failed

I am using an Octopus TwinMos card.

I tried going to the penguin in the toolbar in the left, bottom corner of the screen, clicked on "Network Internet" and "Wavelan configuration" and both times I got the message that there is no recognized card/device. Does this mean that my card will not work with Knoppix? When I start in Windows, the card has a blinking orange light, but no lights come on after Knoppix is loaded.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Doesn't look like knoppix can even load the operation module needed.

Short answer no. Though it could just be a bad burn too. Try typeing

Knoppix testcd

at boot.
