If you allready changed the firewall script, it's ok.

unname != uname

You can start Knoppix with cheatcode "knoppix 2" to start with text-console.
Adriane uses "knoppix-network-manager" or alternativ "network-setup".
The other way to get the network-settings is: Type

adriane

within the console and then select "Setup".

Hi,

Anyone know of a tried-and-true method for
downloading and installing the missing "b43"

Hi,
KK posted on Thread 29775, “The wl drivers are here . . .
If you have the debian-knoppix repository in your /etc/apt /sources.list”

What is the actual debian-knoppix repository URL that I should find in sources,
that KK is referring to?

Trying to get the modules downloaded and installed:

sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-modules-3.2.4

Hi,

Output from Mint 11 LXDE flash install:

a23@abc ~ $ sudo iwconfig 
[sudo] password for ren:  
lo        no wireless extensions. 
 
eth0      no wireless extensions.

Same hardware settings, different OS.
Why can't Knoppix detect wlan0?

Hi,
No screen dialog was observed, other than:

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo modprobe ssb
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$

I need an interpreter to utu's tip:

    knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo hwinfo --wlan | grep -i driv
 info.linux.driver = 'b43-pci-bridge'
  E: DRIVER=b43-pci-bridge
  Driver Info #1:
  Driver: "b43-pci-bridge"
  Driver Modules: "ssb"
  Driver Info #0:
  Driver Status: ssb is active
  Driver Activation Cmd: "modprobe ssb"

No difference:

  knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$
