any ideas for that?
You will need to either go to nvidia's site and get the proper driver then compile it or you can get re-masters of knoppix and I think the latest version of knoppix as well has the forcedeth ( I believe that is what it is called spelling may be wrong though) open source driver for the card that can be used. Alternatively you could unplug the cable from the onboard and put it in the linksys and knoppix would find and use the card or is there just the one card in the machine and you made a mistake with the make/model if this is the case you could buy a $10 cheapie netcard most of them I have gotten are tulip based and detected immediately.
