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

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

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.

Cheers,

I have tried using the driver that came on the cd "rt2500" and two I got off the ndiswrapper site "bcmwl5" and "bcmwl5a". The most recurring problem is when I get to the iwconfig part of the installation. Knoppix just does not see the card. (Windows 2000 has no problem with it, though the signal isn't very stong.) I have tried removing then reinstalling every driver but no success. I just downloaded Mepis and will give it a shot. The short time I have spent with Knoppix has given me a strong fondness for both Linux and this devoted community of users.
