It is not easy to get external drivers built against the knoppix kernel, but they are the links to all the stuff you need.

You took the works right out of my mouth! I pci mine and get "only available to root"

is this just like the sound (chmod's?)

Try Kanotix (Knoppix ++).... smartlink modem has a simple script built-in to install your modem.
MEPIS will recognize it automatically -- Linspire also has built-in support.

Saves a lot of time playing with the drivers...
