Hi All,

I'm a relative noob to Knoppix and Linux in general, so please bear with me if I don't understand things

I've just moved from 4.01 to 5.01. I have a Compaq nc6120 laptop with an Intel 2200BG internal wlan card. OS is running from the DVD, whilst the /home and configs are on a USB flash.

On running "wlanconfig" in 4.01, and running the "sudo pump -i eth0" command, the wlan port was always seen as "eth0", would gain an IP Address and connect to the wlan.

I have configured my 5.01 config to use the IPW firmware drivers with an addition to the "knoppix.sh" script, as found elsewhere in the forum.
On running "wlanconfig", the wlan ethernet numbers are incrementing by themselves after each reboot. Currently the wlan port is registered as "eth7"!
I obviously have to change the "sudo pump -i eth" command to suit the port number "wlanconfig" allocates every time.

How can I stop this from happening, and always see the ethernet port as "0"?

The addition to "knoppix.sh" is as follows:

cp /mnt/sda1/ipw2200-fw-3.0/* /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware
modprobe -r ipw2200
modprobe ipw2200

And the IPW drivers are located in the correct place for the above to work....

Please help!

Cheers
