Are you living in a location where you might be seeing other wireless routers? When your Knoppix system is assigned 192.168.1.14 can it ping 192.168.1.1 and get a response? Have you used any "site survey" software (either something that came with the card or Netstumbler) to see all of the available access points in range? Boy, what a strange problem!
