Hey everyone:

I've been able to get this wireless nic going on other linux's but not Knoppix. Here's all the info:
# lsmod

orinoco_cs 13576 0
orinoco 37280 1 orinoco_cs
hermes 6272 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco
pcmcia 31272 1 orinoco_cs
pcmcia_core 34488 4 orinoco_cs,pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic
# lsusb
Bus 1 Device 2: ID 047e:0300 Agere Systems, Inc. (Lucent)
Bus 1 Device 1: ID 0000:0000
# uname -r
2.6.20-BT-PwnSauce-NOSMP
#dmesg
uhci_hcd 0000:00:07.2: UHCI Host Controller
uhci_hcd 0000:00:07.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
uhci_hcd 0000:00:07.2: irq 10, io base 0x0000d000
usb usb1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
hub 1-0:1.0: USB hub found
hub 1-0:1.0: 2 ports detected
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
Copied both drivers to the appropriate places:
orinoco_ezusb_fw and orinoco_usb_fw.h in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware and in /lib/firmware and in /lib/hotplug/firmware.

my iwconfig doesn't show the proper device name being loaded:

lo no wireless extensions.

wifi0 no wireless extensions. (My Netgear WG311T)

eth0 no wireless extensions. (my 3Com Nic)

One thing I am having trouble doing is loading the module on startup(I modprobe after the system has loaded), Could this be the reason WHY?

When I load it using MODPROBE orinoco_cs then this shows in dmesg:
orinoco 0.15 (David Gibson <[email protected]>, Pavel Roskin <[email protected]>, et al)
orinoco_cs 0.15 (David Gibson <[email protected]>, Pavel Roskin <[email protected]>, et al)

I just don't know where to load those modules ON STARTUP in knoppix. I've checked everywhere but nothing.

Thx for any help. I'm truly stumped.
