I'm using a Gateway 7510GX laptop running Windows XP with a built in wireless card/ethernet card

In the Device Manager in Windows XP shows the wireless card as Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter and the ethernet card as Marvell Yukon PCI-Fast ethernet controller.

When I boot knoppix and run the ifconfig it says that there is no ethernet card detected

same thing with the wlanconfig

i'm a newbie to linux so please explain any commands that you might list.. thanks
