My advice is to grab the knoppix source files and build the kernel using all of the knoppix default selections in their config file.  Make sure that the only thing that you change is the new settings for your prism driver.

Then recompile the kernel and take it for a test drive.

Just my $0.02

Hi,
  Ive built 2.6.6 which includes prism54 driver. (after 3 attempts) - framebuffer is working as is the 3com 359 card, so im back to where I started with dsl0.7.1 except it now has the 2.6.6 kernel.
Prism module is loaded but it seems unable to upload the firmware.
dispite the firmware being present and the hotplug firmware agents
at least being installed, they dont seem to get called properly... I visited the prism54 irc channel which had 28+ persons and asked how to manually upload the cards firmware. no response....

SYSFS!

Ok sysfs was new to me, mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys followed by ifconfig eth1 (which is the wifi card) up finally uploads the firmware and gets it running :-)

So thats dsl with 2.6.6 & prism54 driver all working.

Now if anyone asks how I did it simple,  2 days work 3 kernel builds and a lot of reading...

-Mike.
