Configuring a Linksys WUSB11 Wireless Adapter w Knoppix 4.0

[juren]

Greetings All:

I am trying to get a second Linux box running in my home net using a Linksys WUSB11 Wireless Adapter w Knoppix 4.0 [already have Knoppix 4.0 using a conventional ethernet card/cable talking to my Linksys Wireless/Wired Router working out of the box].

Knoppix 4.0 recognizes the Linksys WUSB11 Wireless adapter because

lsusb -v command reports:

Bus 001 Device 002 ID 077b:2219 Linksys WUSB11 V2.6 802.11b Adapter

but ifconfig -a reports:

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
. . . .

sit0 Link encap: IPv6-in-IPv4
. . . .

i.e. no usb network interface configured

Question is: What are the steps to create a network interface to the Linksys WUSB11 that Knoppix is clearly recognizing but not configuring at bootup?

TIA,

Jim

Well I finally gave up on Linksys WUSB11 and picked up a Linksys WUSB54g for $40 [definitely worth saving the time]. I had read several reports that said the WUSB54g was recognized by Knoppix 4.0 and that proved to be true.

More info on how I finally got this to work is in the thread at:
