List,
   Please don't flame me.  But where is linuxconf in M9.2

It's moved to contrib, but be careful, it is really quite broken in 9.2,
especially as related to Network stuff.
     

                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What a horrible shame!  It's really the only front end for a lot of network
configuration.
What are the problems?  I didn't find any bug reports on Cooker Bugzilla or
bugs.mandrakelinux.com, or discussions in the mailing list for the last 3
months...
   

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.
