What driver did Knoppix choose for your card (just curious). 
Regardless, you're going to want to use the linux-wlan project drivers,
they have much better support for the prism chipsets than any of the
"generic" drivers (including HostAP support).  I suggest you download
and install the appropriate driver RPMs from this guy:

You'll want to install the kernel-wlan-ng base package, the appropriate
kernel-wlan-ng-modules package (to match your kernel), and the proper
interface package to support your hardware (pcmcia, usb or pci).
