Wireless not working on Knoppix 6.7.1

[utu]

Greetings again, ChriguK.

I think I can help you. Please refer to this confusing reference:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/

What it says is the Broadcom 43224 works with BOTH b43 and wl drivers.
You probably know the wl driver works for you and it's a lot easier to
get it working with wl. That was the case with Knoppix 6.7.
Knoppix 6.7 favored wl for this reason.

Knoppix 7 tries to accommodate all or most Broadcom units and
does so by eliminating the wl-driver category. We felt safe in doing
this based on the reference above. If you stare at the table long
enough I think it says there are NO cases which require wl that are
not, in principle, ok with b43, given the availability of the required
firmware.

The hitch I think you have run into is that if you insist on installing
wl yourself, said installation will blacklist the b43 driver that is
probably just fine for your hardware. Things just go downhill from
there.

I suggest you start over and see if Knoppix 7 can't install b43 and
get you going on your way. Forget what you know about wl.

Get back to us on this either way.
