I've got a Sony Vaio PCG-XG9 laptop dualbooting with WindowsXP and Mandrake
Linux 10.0 official (thanks UUG for the iso's...) I'm wondering if there is
a way to reset the network config tool- I had my network running well
earlier using all the nifty autoconfig programs but have had to remove the
connection (using the same autoconf programs provided by mandake.) After
removing the network connection eth0 (actually a belkin 10/100 pcmcia card
part no. F5D5020) using the mandrake "Configure you computer" GUI, the
hardware is no longer seen by the auto config GUI ("add a new connection").
Instead of having the options for the Belkin card and "manual choice", I'm
left only with "manual choice". This doesn't seem like it would be a big
deal- I know the name of the driver *ended* in "_cs" but actually there are
quite a few "_cs" drivers so I'm not sure which is which. Anyone up for a
quickie on how to set up the connection in real Linux (anything outside of
Mandrake's GUI's) or does anyone know enough about Mandrake to point me ion
the right direction? If all else fails, it's a brand new install and so I
could just reinstall everything, but that doesn't seem like it would teach
me much....
additional info:
* running ifconfig displays only lo
* hotplug installed and running as "service"
* netplugd also
* pcmcia as well...
If you need any more info, I will be ahppy to provide. Thanks a ton UUG-
you guys rock!
