Hi,
I too have Mandriva One on an old Tosh Sat Pro 4290.
Everything works well but I have to reconfigure the 122 usb wifi
adapter every now and then. sometimes a re boot will bring it on line.
usb mem stick works fine. Tyhe gwl 122 driver i use is from ralink
(who make the chip for the 122) it's a linux driver but my software
thinks it win with wrapper! the driver is RT2500. Maybe you've learned
something that will throw some light on my problem? I don't know much
about it.
Thanks
Stuart

Turns out there are two separate issues here. One was the path change at
proxad, which is resolved, at least on my system, and I'm told EasyUrpmi is
updated now.

But the updates hdlist file was also corrupted on proxad, even after fixing
the sources. I tried a number of different things to be sure it wasn't just
my system (I won't bore you with the details), but I ended up removing the
updates source I had and replacing it with one from heanet.ie, and now
everything is okay.

It seems to be just proxad, and just the updates source, so maybe the
corrupted it when they were switching the directories.

The 5 updates I got anyway that I mentioned originally were just me tripping
myself up as usual with my unconventional approach to things. I've mentioned
in the past that I do "urpmi --auto-select --auto" without the "--update"
option, so I get all new packages, not just those in updates. That's where
those 5 new packages came from.

the IU mirror had the same issue as well as secsup.
