Yes, i know this is not the current version...
I've just finished a 7.1 install on a HP Omnibook, with a PCMCIA network
card. Installation tried to use dec4x5 module, whose insertion failed.
Manually choosing was not possible, as i didn't knew the type of the
card. So, i couldn't access the LAN settings.
Once installation finished, etherdrake determined the right module to
use was tulip.o, and not dec4x5, and asserted the card was correctly
configured. But i found no way to retrieve the configuration-time LAN
setting utility, so i have to install redhat tools. Once configured, all
network activation failed, until i removed
/lib/modules/2.2-15/modules.deps and ran depmod -a again.
For resuming :
- module choice during installation not compliant with module choice
from etherdrake
- no way of using mandrake specific network configuration after
installation
- etherdrake should have recreated modules.dep by itself.
Hopes this can be useful.
