No wireless

[chip.ling]

Yes. I've searched high and low.

Then do just one more search. Scroll up to the top of this page. Click on Documentation, then click on FAQ, then scroll down a bit and click on Network FAQ.

Check out FAQ Q&A 2 and 3. It may not be a 100% fit your case but at least will give you a real time example on how to ndiswrapper a wireless driver and attempts to connect to the network.

I downloaded NDISwrapper, but it's on my hard drive. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to extract it while running knoppix, and then I'm not sure what to do with it.

You don't need to do that, Knoppix 5.1.1 already contains ndiswrapper.

BTW, I also have a Linksys USB wireless adapter. Knoppix doesn't seem to like it any better than my on-board card.

Again check out same FAQ Q&A 6.

Rgds,
