At least in Knoppix 4.0.2 CD, /usr/src/knoppix-kernel.README says:
Code:
Q: Are there any special components/patches in the kernel used on KNOPPIX?
A: No. KNOPPIX uses the currentmost STABLE vanilla Linux kernel from
   www.kernel.org, with 2 exceptions:
   - Until the XFS filesystem is officially accepted in the stable kernel
     releases, the xfs patch from www.xfs.org is added
   - The boot commandline is extended to support 512 chars, the patch for
     this can be found in /usr/src/knoppix-kernel.patch
So it seems that good hardware-detection in Knoppix doesn't have anything to do with Kernel-patches.
