Hello all! I am really new to linux and i was wondering if anyone of u can help me out. i have a 2200+ athlon xp, gforce 4 mx 440, 80Gb hdd, 512 DDram, shuttle ak39...and a mini usb wireless lan client adapter 802.11b. made by a chinese i think because it has all those funny looking letters called TL-WN 230 tp link. I have just downloaded knoppix and i would really like to gain acces to the internet. unfortunatly I have know ideea hoe to do that, and I don t have any drivers. thank U.

Hmm - cryptic. Problem is you can't install new drivers on Knoppix, as the CD is read-only.

What does 'lsusb' tell you?

here s the thing: i am really really new in linux. i have only heard lots and lots of things about it and i has captivated me.
this is what i do: i go on to the taskbar and press that little pinguin (KNOPPIX) and then go to network/internet.
i select network card config and i have 2 options: wlan0 and eth0. i choose wlan0. i enter my ip, network masg, default gateway, brodcast address, and name server and hit OK. it starts checking, it pops up some nu such device signs and then it closes as if nothing had ever happened.
think u could help?

by the way
i have burned the iso on a rw cd.
