I'm sure this must be a common problem... I can't be the only one using a wireless PCI card with the knoppix DVD rom distribution.

I'm using knoppix 4.0, and am having trouble getting wireless networking settings to persist after a reboot. I get it working, and then save my config to a USB drive, but when I reboot the system, the wireless part isn't enabled.

The settings do appear to be saved in /etc/network/wireless, and I can enable them with a "ifup -f eth0", but I shouldn't have to do this.

Wireless card is SMC2802W (Prism54). Wireless mode is Ad-Hoc, with a WEP key.


Any help appreciated.
