right know I am using KANOTIX which seems to work ok with my linksys Wireless G dsl

its based on knoppix which is based on debian
it comes with more programs then knoppix comes with like a apt-get gui program , its good I think I will want untill they take knoppix 3.8 and convert it to a KANOTIX version , I maybe the next one I will download I think I would want untill they put kde 3.4 on it

also does anyone know how to get wlan0 bootup on startup on the debian based kernel? also using ndiswrapper needed for those non-native windows drivers under linux , it works great in kde using wavelan and netcardconfig to get net access but I would like it too bring it up on startup?

Apart that you're being somewhat confusing in what you're saying, you're also double posting. The other thread is at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=311500

The other thread is now closed, so this is the place to be.

The new kanotix came out the other day with kde 3.4

also could try,

The used configfile is /etc/network/interfaces - add this section:

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wireless_essid YOUR_ID
wireless_mode managed
wireless_key restricted YOUR_KEY

And then do this:

echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules-$(uname -r)

after reboot ndiswrapper should be loaded and working out of the box.

Forgot....after,go to /usr/local/bin and sudo remove-gateways.sh

Take a look in that directory for all of Kano's scripts....they make things some call hard rather simple.
