With Knoppix at a HotSpot
Apparently, the Dutch have a verb that means "to use the Internet", and the 2nd line translates as "use the Internet wirelessly ... as if at home" - and the green heading in the right-most column refers to the hotel where we were staying.
Guess what that means? They have a hot spot - and Knoppix found it without my even asking!
When I showed this to my wife, her first question was: can we check on e-mail? Well - sure, why not?
Cautious as I am, though, I wanted to first test the water before jumping in. Under Knoppix, the Panel next to the "K" for KDE has a Tux icon; clicking there, then "Network/Internet" and "KWiFIManager (Wireless LAN Manager)."
Wow! Since Knoppix started DHCP at boot time, it had already obtained an IP-address. I had no idea this was going on. Klaus, you are so cool!
