[NBLUG/talk] USB WiFi modems

[R C Smith]

I have a QC 435 laptop that has a built-in USB 802.11b wireless modem. It doesn't work using Knoppix. I have not installed a module before and in this case have no idea what to install.

I would like to use Knoppix because I don't want to dual boot or get another HD until I know that the WiFi works. 

Thanks for any help.
