Hello knoppix users!
First sorry for my bad english.

After using linux for about a year, i think I learned very much so i decided to share some of my knowlege with you. My first linux was knoppix live CD. Now I use gentoo, because is very nice and stable distribution and i can optimize it for my hardware which is old toshiba 2100CDS with k6-2 cpu on 400MHz, 160RAM 10GB HDD. Kde runs so fast, and it is booted in 45sec from grub to kde with new init-initng.

Today i remembered how much problems i had with my Belkin wireless PCMCIA card wich have RTL8180 chipset which it is not supported by KNOPPIX 3.9.

Download kernel 2.6.11which is used in live CD with some minor patches. I didnt apply patches because they are minor. Unpacked it under my GENTOO file system. Then reboot in knoppix and mount as su (super user) my gentoo file system. Copy original .config from /usr/src/linux to unpacked kernel on my gentoo file sys. Then i run make menuconfig and make.
There is NO NEED to compile whole kernel. Wait until is compiled first 30 lines and then break it with ctrl+C. After that copy folder linux-2.6.11/scripts into /usr/src/linux.

Then download rtl8180 driver from http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtl8180-sa2400. Unpack it and run make. If everything is ok then you have done it!!! I think this work for all drivers.

If someone need compiled drivers, you can reach me by the private message feature of this site. Or if someone could upload them on his server. My compiled drivers are patched for aireplay to. Works great with kismet and aircrack.

Bye. Sorry for my english
