Knoppix 4.0 motorola surfboard / no internet connection

[|enouf|]

If you have a router, it would be better to use the Ethernet connection than USB. I have been using Knoppix for a few weeks and I have had little or no trouble withe the modem or router.

correct ... i use/have;
Cable Internet -> Motorla Surboard Modem -> Ethernet to Router -> Ethernet to NIC

using Knoppix 3.6 (Both 2.4 and 2.6.7 kernels) == No issues

using the NIC (Network Interface Card - Ethernet) is more necessary than having the Router - yet the router affords security and ability for more than 1 PC. (LAN, Subnet)

In knoppix 4.0.2 - IIRC, there's an issue with USB 2.0 initialization, due to a 'typo' in a config file - see post by memeber ruymbeke on [Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2005 7:46 am]
