I have a dell Truemobile card and a older Presario 1200 laptop. I booted Knoppix and the card was discovered and could ping the gatway and resolve DNS, but I could not ping google or actually surf the web.

Used another computer, surfed these forums, rebooted with a cheatcode of
knoppix nosmp.


Worked great, I am using the card now no problems. But, what is SMP and why did booting wit nosmp work?

Thanx
