Dell Latitude CPi, Netgear MA401 802.11b PCMCIA card. This laptop was built without MODEM, Wireless, or Ethernet. There are no other PCMCIA devices loaded on this laptop. Is eth0 the way that Knoppix identifies a WiFi card, instead of wlan0
Don't know how knoppix named the ethernet device. I have both the Dell Latitude D600 and D610, on knoppix 5.1.1, both wireless cards are identified as eth1 (the eth0 is the wired ethernet)

But when I test them with knoppix 5.3.1, it shows wlan0.
