As you may know quite a few wireless cards do not have native linux drivers that work with them. So people unfortunate enough to buy these cards with out reserching them first are stuck with ndiswrapper which wraps around the windows drivers for the card. However getting the drivers onto the computer is a hassle while the cdrom is being used by knoppix, and it's especialy anoying since you'll have to do this every time you boot. I've remasterd knoppix to include drivers for my wifi card but this really isn't that convinient or easy to do and it only works with my wifi card.

So does anyone know if there is a way add onto a knoppix disk without remastering it? I've tried to burn a knoppix disk without finalizing it and then burning on a few extra files but the disk didn't work (I think there was a CRC check or something).

If this could be done, any schmo could burn a customized version of knoppix with his perticular wifi drivers added to the disk. It would then just require a little init or hotplug script that looks on the disk for the users drivers and sets up ndiswrapper with them.

So i'm thinking of creating a custom knoppix disk that's 10 megs lite with a script to install user added wifi drivers for ndiswrapper.
