hi, i have a d-link DWL-G650 and after spending 4 hours reading on how to get this thing to work on knoppix. I've tried ndiswrapper with the cdrom that came with my card and no luck. when i try to use the network setup in knoppix that didnt work either. the card say it is connected but i cannot surf the net. anyhow what this boild down to was that it is connected but no ip address so what i did was find a way to set up a static ip, and that worked like a charm.

my solution:

1. open konsole
2. change to root with the "su" command
3. type in netcardconfig
4. select "No"
5. just fill in the require information, ie. ip address, net mask, gateway address, essid, encryption, etc.

so i hope this will help other who is having problem getting their dlink to work with knoppix.
