WiFi can be problematic. I'm careful to check several hardware
compatibility sites before purchasing any hardware. That being said,
there's a good chance you can get your WiFi working using your Window's
driver and ndiswrapper.

You might want to try the command lspci in a terminal window. It should
tell you if Knoppix is recognizing your WiFi cards.
