loaded ver 4 of Knoppix and it immediately found eth0,1,2 .. where I believe that eth2 was the wireless card .. was able to config the card and get Kwifi to go 'Green' ... was able to 'ping' both the router and various IP's such as Knoppix and a few others ...
BUT could not ping their URL's and still cannot get onto the Web .. HEEEEEEEEELP I have run out of ideas ..
TIA
