I'm running Knoppix from a CD on my laptop. I have an HP pavillion ze4300 (mobile AMD Athlon 910Mhz, 192MB RAM, HD is NTFS format). The system booted perfectly the first time I booted it from the CD, but I can't figure out how to get my wireless card working. My laptop has a built-in ethernet card and I also have a Linksys wireless ethernet card, which I use to connect to internet. I have a linksys wireless router linked to a cable modem.

Here is part of my lspci -v output (i don't have a floppy or other external media, so i had to write this down. I've only included the two ethernet controllers)

I ran netcardconfig from the shell with the following output:

Sending DHCP broadcast from device eth0operation failed
Failed.
Hit return to exit.

I ran iwconfig as well:

lo no wireles extensions

eth0 no wireless extensions

This is the first time I've used Linux so if anyone could help I would appreciate it, and if you need more info I'll happily provide it if you tell me how. Thank you!
