WiFi in Linux.. DRIVER


Recommended Posts

umm there might be a module, type this

ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/*

if that doesn't work try #knoppix on freenode or try scrounging around.

BTW. i saw my friend use a script on knoppix once to get his 802.11b card working. He knows all about knoppix and wireless. I'll see if i can't ask him later when he's online again.

Ok. i was assuming that you knew at least something about *nix.

First open up a terminal (a console)

Log in as root by typing su (if you are already root, it will just do nothing)

then type that. I'm assuming that knoppix uses that directory.

I really suggest going to irc://irc.freenode.net #knoppix to get some help. After a quick google i saw that this model should be auto-recognized and the module should be loaded. What might be happening is that network scripts aren't running.

Try "./etc.init.d/wlan start"

maybe also try "dhcpcd"

ps: he's still not online, it's probably because its exam time and he doesn't want to be bugged.
