So, when I install Mandrake on my notebook (this isn't cutting edge here, we're talking P2/333) and the PCMCIA netcard Just Doesn't Work, that's not a "big problem"? Having the network "Wizard" foul things up, after I've spent a day getting it working, isn't a "big problem"? (My netcard happens to be a Linksys, but the postings I've seen suggest that many have the same problem, and not just with netcards.) This is not a kernel issue, since it _can_ be made to work, with enough tweaking of pcmcia/config (Assuming, of course, that you know enough to stay away from auto-defect.) AFAIK, this has been an issue since 8.0 (and certainly since 8.1). As of 8.2rc1 it still hasn't been addressed. I know you're stressed--try to understand that I _want_ Mandrake to succeed. I only have two hopes: 1) you'll release an 8.2.1 ISO, once things have settled down and you have time to make a stable version, 2) Next time you'll allow for a longer "freeze" period, so some of these issues can be resolved _before_ release. --plughead; // a paying mandrakeclub member ========================= 'And trust no-- Trust practically no-one.
