Hi,

I use Knoppix 3.8 live CD and want to run a Netgear MA401 WLAN-PCMCIA card. After inserting the card, lsmod shows me that orinoco_cs modules are loaded automatically. I expected a prism2 module but the card is recognized anyway as eth0. The command iwconfig shows me that eth0 is available.

Then I do the following commands:

iwconfig eth0 essid "ConnectionPoint"
iwconfig eth0 key s:mypassword
iwconfig eth0 mode Ad-Hoc
iwconfig eth0 ap any

Now I expect that I get an IP via DHCP, but iwconfig doesn't show an IP, furthermore I can't see eth0 when running ifconfig.

Can someone help me?
