Wireless Network on Intel PROset 2200

[Draco]

hi guys,

I need some help in getting my wireless network setup on my laptop DELL 700m
I have built-in Intel PROset 2200 and I am using Knoppix 4.02
The KwifiManager reconginses my access point essid (netgear router which uses encryption WPA-PSK)
But it does not show the MAC address of the router or the IP address
I guess, i need to configure the WPA-PSK part

Any HELP will be appriciated

Thanks in adavance

I got it working now..............

After searching on the net and read the man pages I found out that iwconfig does not support the key/password as string(passpharse)
it has to be hex key. where as WPA-PSK only allows string

I changed my router config to WPA Open system and 64bit hex encryption key(netgear)
At the Terminal
get in as root
$ su
type
# wlcardconfig
enter all the details essid, HEX password (not the passpharse), channel etc
# pump -i ethx
replace ethx withyour settings (eth0 or eth1 or ath0) type ifconfig at the terminal to find out
And Thats it.. it worked....

And i did no more intersting thing........
I installed the Knoppix 4.02 on my 1GB usb drive
this keeps the Microsoft windows XP as is on the laptop....
All I have to do is plug in my usb drive boot the laptop with usb drive and knoppix kicks into life
and I get 200MB of space on the usb drive to save my settings.......

KNOPPIX IS GREAT
