But I want to test Winbind joining the domain (which occurs at the end
of the installation after the network card is setup) with RC1 ...

Yes, it still works like this:

BTW, in drakconnect, the message "Installing driver for
network/main|gigabit|usb|pcmcia card Surecom EP-427X 16 bit 100/10M
Ethernet Card" is shown, but so fast it's impossible to read (it took me
10 tries to take a screenshot so I could read it). In the next screen,
the only info displayed is "Configuring network device eth0 (driver
pcnet_cs)" is shown. It would really be more useful if the info shown in
the previous screen were shown here, then you would be able to identify
cards more easily, especially when you have multiple cards using the
same driver. Then maybe I could get out of the habit of writing the MAC
address on all network cards in machines running Mandrake ...
