wifi, pppoe

[konrad.gajda]

Knoppix live CD 3.9, kernel 2.6.11,
Knoppix is working from the cd – it is not installed on the hard drive.

Wireless network card isn’t supported with linux drivers.
In order to use the card I’m employing ndiswrapper.

After the card is installed I’m connecting to my ISP’s Access Point.
Dynamic IP is provided by DHCP.

And here I’m in a bush.

ISP require login and password.
I’m using „ADSL/PPPOE configuration�.
It’s discovering PPPoE Access Concentrator on wlan0, and making changes to dsl-provider file,
everything without any problem. I have to type login and pass and click OK. few times and it is done even with information that ppp0 is triggered but basically is not working.
After typing in the text mode as root „pon dsl-provider� Knoppix will return

Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded
/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider: unrecognized option 'wlan0'

If I will type ifconfig wlan0 is listed and I can see that IP, and proper ssid is assigned.

I will appreciate any help or suggestion, tks.

You are running wifi, or at least trying to (I do have one card that works with Knoppix but many that do not). So why are you mucking with pppoe software? Presumably your wifi card is connecting to a wireless router (I didn't quite catch just what that hardware make and model is). As long as you are using a normal wifi router, it will take care of all of the pppoe stuff and log into the ISP, get it's internet IP asddress and other configuration information. It will then hand out private NAT IP addresses to it's clients, including you. You don't need no stinkin' pppoe software.

This is not my private wifi router (i.e. at home for my dsl connection) this is the router that belongs to my ISP. So, wifi is just used to connect to ISP. And then when I’m connected I have to logon. Router will assign me ip dynamically, then over established connection I have to logon with pppoe (I’m doing this with windows and it’s working).

If something is still not clear pls let me know. And sorry for my English
