I have many wireless keyboards and mice and they work. Just for the record. :)

just checked and seems that 'Knup' is a brazilian brand with not so many hits on google:
https://www.google.pl/#q=linux+Knup+w115
not sure if drivers for it are present in the kernel...

please boot porteus to GUI, plug your wifi adapter into usb port -> try to pair base with mouse -> generate 'psinfo' raport -> upload it to pastebin.com -> link here.
thanks

I have tested many linux distros of the main types without any problem, ubuntu, debian, fedora, arch linux, slackware ... . Fanthom appreciates that porteus is compatible with as much hardware as possible. Lets see what he will do for you.

do you have wireless mouse + keyboard or mouse only? according to log files Porteus recognizes wifi receiver but sees keyboard attached to it:

ok - lets try to force recognizing your mouse directly in xorg.conf. please do as follows:
- boot to text mode and login as root
- plug your usb receiver
- run 'X -configure' command
- check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for event number assigned to your receiver (could be different depending if you connect your Optical mouse or not):

Code: Select all

config/udev: Adding input device Telink Wireless Receiver (/dev/input/event4)
- run 'mcedit /root/xorg.conf-new' and edit Input section to match wifi receiver event number, eg:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse0"
	Driver       "evdev"
	Option	"Device" "/dev/input/event4"
EndSection
- run 'mv /root/xorg.conf-new /etc/X11'
- run 'init 4' and check if your mouse is working
