My motherboard includes the above NIC <which works fine with xp/vista> The Knoppix 5.1 (DVD) seems to be able to see it but not use it.
I should point out that I don't have a lot of linux experiance (what I do have was with suse10) and am not at all sure how one goes about installing drivers etc in Knoppix? <Partly because I still don't really understand how it can run just from the dvd- If I install drivers - where do they get written etc?>

If some kind soul could point me to a "how too" source I would be very happy.

If you like I can be seen (when in xp/vista) on y- messenger " flybye882001 " is my name there.
