I just installed 9.0beta2 on a friends workstation and encountered a
showstopper bug in drakconnect.   here are the details:

I didnt set up networking on initial install because I didnt know what 
kind of ISA nic card was being used and auto-probing didnt work.  After 
the install, I found out it was a ne2000 compatible ISA card (ne module).  
Went to drakconf, started drakconnect.  ran the wizard, no go. I tried to 
specify the options, still no go.   however, from a cmd-line, I could load 
the module correctly (modprobe ne io=0x300). 

the problem:  drakconnect doesnt just run "modprobe ne io=0x300".  I runs 
"modprobe ne (comma seperated values) io=io=0x300". 2 notes.  1) the part 
in parans are definately in the command issued by drakconnect and 2) the 
duplicate 'io=' part might be me.   we didnt have time to check that part.


Also, I am not subscribed to the cooker list anymore, so if someone 
could get this to the right place? Im thinking any module that needs params 
will have this problem.
