I am using a Toshiba laptop. I have an Orinoco 802.11b wireless card here plugged into the laptop. It works perfectly with Windows. In fact, when I went to my friends house, who has no encryption on his wireless network, my network card automatically worked fine with Knoppix there!! Here the name of the network is 2c8313 and the password is c8313.
How do I tell it that in Knoppix? I have tried all of the network configuration settins. I have eth0 and eth1 in the list and i try configuring it. I've tried using and not using DHCP. I go to terminal and type netcardconfig to get that. I try typing su to log in as root, then typing wlcardconfig. I fill in everything (at least I think it is correct) yet when I open the Mozilla browser it cannot connect. I tried going to the WaveLan settings, same problem. Don't forget-it automatically worked perfectally at my friends house who has no encryption, and I do not want to turn off encryption on my router. I am new to Linux. What should I do?
