hello guys, im new to this forum as well as linux. i started usin knoppix a few days ago and everything worked fine...except for the internet. I used Knoquerer and firefox, but i cannot connect to any sites. An ifconfig brings up these results:

Link encap: Local Loopback
inet addr: 127.0.01 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: :: 1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1

i did an ifconfig -a -v and it whosed that i had an eth0 device ethernet. I pull up wifimanager and it says that my car is...disabled? maybe i havent installed the linux drivers for my ipw 3945abg connection? what is happening???!!!
