I am wanting to setup a dualboot laptop with linux(dont know which distro yet) and Windows XP and I have been reading about live CD`s so to err on the side of caution I downloaded Knoppix-STD to give it a go.

I`ve managed to get Kismet to work with my built in WiFi card but I have to run Wellenreiter first then close it down or Kismet wont work and when it is working all I get is a list of SSID`s but nothing else.

I`m thinking that my WiFi card has something to do with this and I`m waiting for my Orinico Gold to arrive as I write will i get more features when I run the gold card?
