if somebody would walk me through it, it would be appreciated.
On my VAIO, Puppy Linux connected out-of-the box to my neighbor's unsecured WAP (taking the defaults in Puppy's network connection wizard). Connecting to my own encrypted network took some reading of the forums, but by then I was encouraged by knowing that there was no driver problem.

I can't find anything in Knoppix 5.3.1 that corresponds to Puppy's wifi setup wizard. The thought crossed my mind of trying to copy configuration files from Puppy to Knoppix, if I knew which were critical.
