Linksys wusb54g & knoppix

**DrCrock** · 03-01-2006, 06:12 PM

Hi I wondered if anyone could help or point me in the right direction. Ive experimented with a couple of linux distro's being linspire, ubuntu and suse. I manged to get suse to install but the others failed on just the live cd. Knoppix seems pretty good at first glance, the live cd loaded flawlessly. Anyway, im using knoppix 3.9 live cd which im hoping to install to a partition later in the gradual process migrating from win xp. Im up against it a bit as im on a wireless device, the linksys wusb54g, which (even though my linksys router has linux components) they dont offer linux drivers for my usb device. Could someone help with configuring my wireless device for the knoppix 3.9 live cd. Or point me in the right direction of a guide, wiki that may help. Thanks

Also using version 4 of the wusb54g

Follow these instructions.

I have a Linksys WUSB54GV4 I could not get DHCP to work but other wise the device works.

After you have followed those instructions, run the menu item
Knoppix -> Network / Internet -> Network card configuration

Give the device an IP that is not in use, you should be able to find the ssid using KWiFiManager after that.

Hope this helps.

Thanks i will give this a go, im not concerned about dhcp as its switched off from my router, so a static ip is fine. I will first attempt this with my wep encryption off also.

Im still having difficulties, could you confirm, have you managed to get this working on the live version and not after a HD install. Thanks
