Ah yes, I missed the f, sorry about that mistake.

Ive tried it with netcardconfig, and setting it up manually, both give me the same results.

I know its not a physical problem, as Slackware is installed on the exact same machine currently, and it connects to the internet perfectly. Its using the same NIC, same ip address etc.

Ping yields nothing, if I look at ifconfig, no packets are transmitted, I just get a bunch of TX errors.

Im usually pretty good at getting my machines to network, but this thing is eluding me, I might just have to wait for a future knoppix (maybe when it changes to the 2.6 kernel, a fairly long time probably).
