Configuring your wireless card
# activating your wireless network card (provided your network card is recognized as ath0, and that you are using Knoppix):
- # configure the wireless card (ssid, encryption keys, etc):
wlcardconfig
- # add the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces:
auto ath0 iface ath0 inet dhcp
- # (re)start the network daemon:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Configuring your wireless router or access point
- # use a well-chosen SSID (i.e., the string which identifies your wirless network) which does not identify yourself (remember that a wireless network can be discovered from large distances)
- # do not broadcast the SSID
- # use a well-chosen WEP encryption key (at least 128-bit WEP)
- # protect the access to the configuration interface of your wireless router or access point with a (non-default) password
