Of course, most of what we see in these forums is people posting of their problems. When something is working properly people don't usually post about it. But I've been playing with wireless all evening and I'm pretty sure that Knoppix 5.0.1 will not support my wireless card, at least not with encryption enabled. I plan on doing more teste with encryption on the router disabled, but that will have to wait, and is not an acceptable way to run the router anyway. The thing is, this card worked fine in the last few releases of Knoppix. I can get it to work under the current release canidate of Mepis. But although the green lights come on under Knoppix 5.0.1, it keeps claimng it can't find the router, even though I think I have the encryption configured properly.

Reflecting back on this, I don't remember seeing any reports of good wifi results in this new release. So I'm hoping that some of you will at least post reports of sucess and that there isn't a major problem. If you could give the make and model of your wireless NIC, if you are running with or without encryption, and any special steps that you took, that would be welcome too. And please consider adding your results to the Wireless Networking section of the wiki.
