I don't have a card like yours,so I have no way to test this.
If you are using knoppix 3.6,your card ought to be supported.
There is an atmel_cs module for both kernels.
Your card is listed in /etc/pcmcia/atmel.conf.The manfid number is
different than cardctl info gave you,though.From what I could find out,
there are 2 versions of your card.If you have version 2,it ought to
work.If you have the unmarked ver.1,you might be out of luck.
Your iwconfig output is not encouraging.
If your card was recognized,it would have been listed (and given you the
interface name,to answer your other question).
