I don't know what hardware your Acer uses. You might want to read the wiki section on Wireless. I've had no luck at all getting wifi cards that did work with Knoppix 4.02 to work in any 5.x version of Knoppix, but it sounds like your hardware may not be supported by Knoppix at all. The ndswrapper trick discussed in the wiki might help, but you might have better luck with other Live CDs or a real Linux ibstall pf a distro intended for hard disk. Of the Live CDs, the two I have found have much better wifi support than Knoppix are Puppy Linux and Mandriva.
