No I don`t know how to do this.

I think I need to do more reading as at the moment I`m unsure what it all means.

I`m guessing on this one I get init_modulerism2_pci.0: 0.2.0 loaded
init_module:dev_info is rism2 pci no devices found, driver not installed are what I`m looking for?
AFAIK Knoppix-STD works like regular Knoppix, which means your home directory is on the ramdisk. Copy the "kismet.conf" and "kismet_ui.conf" from /etc/kismet to the home directory, edit it, and then use the -f parameter to tell kismet to use those edited conf files. AFAIR Midnight Commander (a Norton Commander clone) is included on knoppix-std.
mc <enter> at the prompt should get it going.

Man is the standard way of including documentation in linux. Do a "man kismet", "man kismet.conf" and "man kismet_ui.conf" to see the help pages for kismet.

As for your card, it doesn't look like it's recognised, you may need to load the drivers manually with insmod. Check the wlan-ng and the hostap sites (google is your friend) to find out if your card is supported.
