I figured out what the problem was... For some reason it won't work under the 2.6 kernel. When I used the 2.4 it worked fine. Hope this might help someone else with the same problem.
Hi,
I just downloaded Knoppix 3.7 and everything works great except that now it doesn't detect my linksys wireless card. Before when I was running Knoppix 3.6 all I had to do was use Ndiswrapper to get the drivers and then use wlanconfig to configure it. When I try to use Ndiswrapper it says that the driver is loaded but no cards were detected. Does anyone else have this kind of problem? And if so is there a way to solve this problem? Thanks.

Interesting
I am using Knoppix with 3.7 and a Broadcom g card. I also get the installed, but hardware not present syndrom, but that not withstanding, if I go ahead and configure the WLAN it works. Very strange.
