I suppose, that since it is marked as disabled, that is why when I type ifconfig I only get the lo info and not the eth0 info. When I do this in FC5 I get info for both eth0 and lo.
I'm not at all clear on what is really happening here. If you have a PCI card NIC installed then you should certainly have an ethx showing up. It might be sth1 if Knoppix somehow still knows about sth0 even though it is "disabled", it might be eth0 if Knoppix is now ignoring the on-board NIC. But the lo should only be the local loopback port, not any use for talking to the rest of the world. But your indication that you got a 192.168.2.xxx address set up for you makes me believe that Knoppix is indeed seeing an ethernet port. Beyaon that I don't really understand what is happening in your case.
