OK people . . . I tried many times during pre-8.2 to get someone to fix this. I mostly got ignored or bogus responses.
I have just tried Redhat SkipJack 7.3 beta on my Gateway 9150XL notebook with the Xircom PC-Card - NO PROBLEMS. With Mandrake 8.2 and still with latest Cooker I get the ethernet (eth0) on the Xircom card coming up only in half-duplex mode (during install it is full-duplex). This problem IS NOT THERE for Mandrake 8.1 and earlier - and Suse and Redhat also have NO problem with this card. ONLY Mandrake 8.2 and latest Cooker are broke. I really like 8.2 (and can't wait for 9.0) - but it would be very nice if this problem can be acknowledged and fixed. Many Thanks, R.Fox
