Wireless USB Network Adapter Problems....

[haYnguy]

Well...Everything about Knoppix is great...I love it...BUT:

I am not able to visit any sites, or even use xchat...
I followed the translated configuration guide for setting up my network card...
I don't use DHCP so I typed in the IP addresses...
I used Konqueror to see if it worked...but it didn't


Is the problem my Wireless USB Network Adapter? I am sure Knoppix supports it... Therefore I am lost, and I want my mommy

This may sound dumb, but I have a CD that I used to install the Net Adapter...Does Linux allow me to install it?

Yer mommy ain't here! :P Actually it *may* be possible to use the drivers you already have w/ something called 'driverloader' but not from Knoppix cd as I do not beleive Knoppix has driverloader. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong). Before going that far tho I would suggest posting some info about your USB adapter ( make, model, chipset, etc.) and see if anyone knows how to configure it and Linux drivers may already exist for it.

OK...
This is the name of the net adapter
Linksys Wireless USB Network Adapter Model: WUSB11 v2.5

I tried a bunch of suggestions, and wrote alot scripts and i still dont know whats going on...

Do I need to mount the USB?
