Hi,
I recently purchased a Knoppix CD and I have used it on three
of my machines (XP PRO). I have SBC Yahoo DSL and am using
an 1000HW Modem/Gateway (2WIRE). On my computer interfaced
directly to the DSL modem, I have to do nothing. When I boot to
Knoppix and Konqurer comes up, I enter a url and I am there.
I have a backroom computer that has an external USB wireless
adapter on it and when I boot Knoppix, I again have to do nothing
to access the internet.
So, I am not sure what your problem is but just wanted you to hear
from another Knoppix/DSL user
