PCMCIA Conceptronic C54C

Por más que lo intento no se conecta al Punto de Acceso, la jodía...
Utilizo knoppix y me la detecta a la primera:
root@germinal:/home/fernan# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

Para configurarla con knoppix me pide unos datos que no entiendo:
NWID
iwspy
iwpriv

¿Me funcionará la tarjeta o la envuelvo en papel de regalo y se la llevo a la tienda otra vez?
