OK, first off I want to thank everyone who has been posting on this forum and to the developers of Knoppmyth for making something so cool! I have successfully gotten my mythbox up and running, though there are still some tweaks I am working on.

For a newb such as myself, I did have some trouble with getting my wireless ethernet card to work. I followed the instructions in this post, but I was somewhat stumped on the specific instructions to get ndiswrapper working. Here are the steps I followed:

1 ) Downloaded ndiswrapper-0.12.tar.gz from the sourceforge project page into /usr/src

2) Unzip and untar using the following commands:
Code:
cd /usr/src
gunzip ndiswrapper-0.12.tar.gz
tar xvf ndiswrapper-0.12.tar


3)
Code:
cd ndiswrapper-0.12


4)
Code:
make install


This will make the required ndiswrapper commands available so that the wireless driver can be installed.

To find out which driver to use, I used the list and located the card I have (Belkin F5D7000 rev 3). There are a ton of cards listed here, and many tell which .inf file to use for the installation.

5) Download the correct driver and unpack it.

6)
Code:
ndiswrapper -i <inf file>
where inf file is the correct one from the list

At this point, I followed the instructions here; note that the "Knoppxi/Network/Configure/network card script" mentioned is
Code:
netcardconfig


My wireless card works!

Sorry if this is a bit pedantic, but I need to have everything spelled out in great detail. I initially tried to apt-get install ndiswrapper, but it never quite worked for me (even after modfying the sources.list file). This method was successful, so I'll take it.
