Good info, at long last I have gotten my bcm internal card to work in Knoppix. This time I used Live CD 5.1.1
I followed your instructions Opened Root Shell.

rmmod bcm43xx
#mounted the drive with my wireless adapter files. Same .inf that was used with XP
ndiswrapper -i /media/sda1/bcmwl5.inf
ndiswrapper -m
modprobe ndiswrapper
ifup wlan0 (got a failure there)

#Used Network Card Configuration to set up SSID and WEP and NWID. Wavelan and Wireless LAN didn't do the trick.

ifconfig

#Presto up and running, with an IP and everything. This is the first time I have had any success using Knoppix and I have tried numerous times.
#In previous versions there was a bcmwl5 in the ndiswrapper I used and I should have removed it then added my version.
Thanks again for the post.
