I can boot to the knoppix CD no problem, but I cannot connect to the internet. I am guessing knoppix has drivers, but I thought Knoppix would detect my hardware.

those scripts do not work for my wireless card. I, unfortunately, have an Acer laptop with a built in network card. I am unable to connect using any of the scripts on the KDE toolbar, Knoppix CD. Any other ideas, besides buying another Network card?
