I needed to specify the device id's when creating the connections.. it's been a while since I've used Knoppix.

I also changed the CountryRegion=0 (US), even though I'm in Canada. I don't know if that had any effect though.. I set it about 5 different attempts before it actually connected. It was originally set for Netherlands (CountryRegion=5, CountryCode=DE).


So... there's hope. Just need to scour that source to see what he did for the pc platform, and use that for the arm compile. It needs to get past the reading of /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat error first. I'll leave that to someone who actually knows how to do that... lol.
