What other steps than ifconfig i must check to be sure that my ethernet is working correctly under Knoppix and what about assign IP address to the network card Only (ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up) and what it's related to the ip and lan configuration with HOSTNAME Also want to ask, what about if i can't find driver for a PCMCIA wireless network adapter (SMC2365W)

Weird
I think knoppix has a netcardconfig in the menu somewhere, because I use its script in phaeronix.
try to run /usr/sbin/netcardconfig
However this will work only if your ethernet card has been detected at boot time. Since your case deals with a pcmcia card, maybe it wasn't detected. ( I seriously doubt that, because knoppix's autoconfiguration script has a section for pcmcia , I should know I used it for my example. ).
Generally after running the ifconfig you mentioned, you also have to run :
Then in /etc/resolv.conf add a line for nameservers :
HOSTNAME should already be set, else the system would be seriously misconfigured. Just for argument's sake, the HOSTNAME variable is usually stored in /etc/sysconfig/network like this:
and is usually exported at system bootup time.
As for this specific PCMCIA card, I'll check if it has a kernel/cs driver.
