I write this from Knoppix via a LAN connection using the Atmel wireless adapter (Zonet ZEW2000). So you see: the new berlios driver works!

Configuration details:

My accesspoint is configured to accept only specific MAC adresses and WEP encrypted connections. Thus some config of the Atmel wlan adapter is neccessary:

Code:
# become root
su

# configure the adapter
iwconfig wlan0 essid 'homewlan'
iwconfig wlan0 channel 10
iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed
iwconfig wlan0 nick 'homewlan'
iwconfig wlan0 key XXXX-XXXX-XX restricted
iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M
iwconfig wlan0 rate auto

# display setting for check
iwconfig wlan0

# bring up the interface
ifconfig wlan0 up

# get a DHCP lease from the access point router
pump -i wlan0

# check the routing table
netstat -r

# output for me:
#Kernel IP routing table
#Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
#192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 wlan0
#default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 wlan0

# ping the access point router
ping -c 2 192.168.1.1

# ping a foreign host
ping -c 4 www.osgev.de
Both pings should succeed.

Question:

What to do to get the berlios drivers into one of the next Knoppix distributions instead of the sourceforge ones?

Thanks to all making this possible
