One question: what if instead of DHCP I use static addresses, what should I do differently from the given instructions?
A couple of things:

1. Rather than clog this thread up; could you please start another thread, say with the title: Trouble with Knoppix 3.6 and Belkin F5D7000 -- and I'll try and be of assistance

2. In that thread could you tell me exactly where things hang?

3. The name of the driver you are using and the version of the card you are using?

4. It does not necessarily follow that if you fail to get Knoppix to work with your wireless connection you have to go back to M$ -- your choice of course. There are many other fine distributions of Linux that are likely to work -- indeed one comes from your neck of the woods -- MEPIS.

5. I little idea what you do differently if you use static addresses, as I use DHCP and am not a networking guru. In any case, I doubt it is this issue that is causing your system to hang.
