Mandrake has completely changed it's network configuration files from what linuxconf expects. So everything gets borked if you try to use it. If you want to use it, you have a lot of work to do to make sure the right stuff is installed and the config files are in the right place. Unfortunately, if you know enough to fix it, you know enough to not need it. For networking configuration, try the drakconnect applet in Mandrake Control Center. Fortunately, that applet is much better now and makes netconf unnecessary IMO. -- /g
