Did you try using the command

Code:

sudo wlcardconfig

What kind of card is it? USB?PCI?
If it's a pci card you need to issue this command to identify the chipset

Code:

lspci

If it's a USB, you probably need to install usbutils

Code:

sudo apt-get install usbutils

I think the command for USB would be

Code:

lsusb

Check out some of these links and especially the first (sticky) post.

I don't think you need to download ndiswrapper or madwifi because it's included with Knoppix.
