I'm a Knoppix newbie. I'm still learing a lot about it. I ran into trouble with my network card, i don't know how to install it, and where I can find the drivers of my network card, in windows my network card name is "SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter". I need that somebody told me how to install it. and where i can search de drivers. thanks, I hope someone can help so I can learn a little more on here.

Have you tried this at the command line:
netcardconfig

If you use DHCP simply click DHCP-if youuse a static ip then enter the appropriate info. Post back if you need assistance.

Is your network interface on-board? Which SiS chipset do you have (or which motherboard model)? Someone said in an earlier posting that newer revs of the on-board 900 emulation had problems, but it's always worked for me on my SiS735-based board.

The introduction to this section says "Please post a full output of lspci -v if your hardware is not detected, and all relevant information about your hardware." That's your next step.
