I have a SMC-2662W device and an internal network card (e100 - eth0). I can connect to a wireless access point and to a fixed lan for internet. Here is a run down of the steps (and the bugs): -Start the computer (e100 is connected to the network) -Plug in the device -Device seems to be recognised by driver usbvnetr : "../src/usb/vnetusba.c: usb eth1 initialized and registered" (IMPROVEMENT: some visual feedback or sound on this would be great, especially for newbies) -run Drakconnect -Device is there under eth1 but driver says "e100" (BUG) -Create new profile called "stuff" -"Stuff is not availab;le in the list of profiles (BUG) -Create new profile called "stuff" -Select "stuff" in the list of profiles (it's now available) -Half the time this crashes Drakconnect (think it might be DHCP on eth0 taking 2 minutes to time out, hint hint) (BUG:reduce timeout for DHCP) -Launch the wizard (let's try it out !!) -Use auto detection and Expert mode are checked -Next -LAN connection -Next -"We are going to configure teh connection" -> (IMPROVEMENT: yeah I know, that why i pressed the Launch Wizard button) -Next -Found Intel... Pro 100 network, do you have another one? (BUG: where is my vnetusba device???) -Yes -> Next -Select "usbvnet_rfmd" -Next -Another one?, No, Next -Config eth0(e100), i set up static address -Next -Config eth1(e100) (BUG: it should be usbvnet_rfmd) -Setup as DHCP (BUG: where is the wireless options configuration???) -Next -Zeroconf -> nothing, hostname: i set up "stuffy", Next -Next -Proxies -> none -Next -Config complete, apply??? yes -> Next -Network restarted, do I want to restart??? Yes -> Next -Computer hangs for a couple of minutes (BUG: wireless is trying to get address from DHCP but I haven't configured the wireless options so where is it going to get it from??? Nowhere. Reduce the timeout, please) -Congratulations.... (BUG: Drakconnect has blatantly not been able to configure DHCP, where is the feedback on that) -BUG: ok, I have two network interfaces "connected", where do I specify which one I use for connecting to the internet in the wizard??? -Finish -Click "Configure Hostname" -Enter the DNS server and gateway (BUG: what i they are supplied by DHCP i.e. linked to the previous bug, let teh user choose which interface is used to connect to the internet) -I enter the manual values - i know them -Finish -Click "Configure Internet Access" -BUG: gateway, i just entered that, something better would be a list of available devices and let the user choose, which one is used to connect to teh internet -Click Ok -Click Ok again to exit Drakconnect (BUG: again, running DHCP and waiting for timeout) Now two situations: I am a newbie and I have no idea how to configure wireless settings and I can't find any tool to do so -> I ditch MDK 9.2 and go back to Windblows world. I am me and i wat to support MDK, so I manually run iwconfig to set up the right iwconfig parameters, ok, wireless is up, now i still need DHCP !! (BUG: where am i meant to enter the wireless settings so they are saved ?? also, how about multiple wireless profiles) -Click on Drakconnect again -BUG: eth1 has disappeared -Relaunch the whole wizard with teh smae bugs :( -BUG: although i specify I have a usbvnet_rfmd device, I cannot configure it (Wizard only does eth0) :-( It would be nice if this could be fixed, I'll check this bug regularly because it really matters to me so I am willing to give as much info as possible.
