I am having trouble getting knoppix on usb to connect to the internet. Can someone tell me if knoppix has the ipw2200 firmware necessary for my dell laptop centrino wireless chip to work?


I don't know about that chip, but I doubt it. The problem with firmware is that it is copyrighted. So, Knoppix can't distribute it.
Actually, the firmware _does_ seem to be included w/4.0.2. At least, my T43 Centrino w/intel 2915 wifi comes up and associates OK. IIRC, the 2915 uses the ipw2200 driver and firmware. So far, it doesn't do DHCP correctly though. I'm working on that.
