Are you trying to connect through a wireless link or through a standard wired ethernet connection? If wired I'm surprised that you're having any problems. You might want to post what ifconfig is telling you, and you might try sudo mii-tool -r and then netcardconfig from a shell. If you're trying to get a wireles card working, well, good luck. I've found Linux supprt to be very poor for many of these cards. You might want to search the forums for other cards that have worked for people (they should still connect fine to your router). You might look for instructions for a "wrapper" that, in theory, might let you use windows drivers under Knoppix. But I would suggest trying to jack directly in with an ethernet cable first.
