Fabian, Ok, I just assumed that it would work since the card was detected and the proper module was loaded. But because of the situation I described in my previous post I was unable to test this since I was unable to specify my essid or wep key while Knoppix was running from the cd. It would appear however that even if the drivers are broken, there is still a problem with the way Knoppix is set up to handle wireless usb devices since /etc/wlan/wlan.conf is just a symlink to /KNOPPIX/etc/wlan/wlan.conf. As you know, nothing in /KNOPPIX/ is writeable. Klaus obviously dealt with this issue when it comes to wireless pcmcia cards since wireless.opts is not a symlink but a writable file in /etc/pcmcia/. Shouldn't wlan.conf be likewise placed in /etc/wlan rather than symlinked to /KNOPPIX/etc/wlan/wlan.conf? I don't see how wireless usb devices can be used from the CD without doing this.
