Knoppix not recognizing WLAN cards

Sat Apr 23 19:19:48 UTC 2005

I've done some hunting with google and seem to have come up short on this.
I'm continuing to hunt, but I'm hoping someone may have an easy answer.
Since I'm just starting to play around with Linux I figured the Knoppix
(3.8.1) live CD was a good way to start since it's self contained.  My
problem is that my wireless card doesn't work on it.  (Cisco CB21-AG).  I
tried an old D-Link card (DWL-650) also with no luck. I put both cards in at
the same time for lspci just in case that provides anything useful.

Any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated since I'd like to not use
my desktop PC just because that's used for work as well...

Thanks in advance,

Ray
