I found the name and location of the Windows WIFI driver in WinXP, then I started up Knoppix and clicked on the Penquin icon at the bottom left of the screen and ran ndiswrapper and pointed it to the Window driver location.
I then ran the WLAN program, also from the Penquin location and I just chose all the default values.

I am not too sure if the next step is necessary but to get the WIFI functioning for this session I had to go to the network card confiquration program and run it. I didn't think I had to do that the previous session?

This got my Notebook to connect with a neighbours WIFI which apparently is not locked down.

I am wondering what precisely your question is -- at least one that I may answer ...

I have no idea what you did in the previous session; but running the network config prog. is a possibility.

I should also add two comments: (1) If you have a particular query start a new thread titled specifically rather than clog this one up; (2) encryption and ndiswrapper are commonly not happy bedfellows.

I am pleased to have been of some assistance.

Cheers,
