Hi guys,
I am writing this again and again.. but nobody seems to be interested. Here I
go again.
I am having serious problems on Dell 5000e laptop with network connectivity.
Troubles started when during installation, my ethernet card was detected
twice. There after whenever I start MCC and go to "connection", I see two
ethernet cards instead of one. Disabling one disables another. So how do I
remove the double entry?? I also found that harddrake dosn't show any
ethernet card!! that is quite strange!
I then went into linuxconf, and there I could successfully disable eth1 and
enabled eth0.. a simple "service network restart" then started my network
properly. Thus, right now, MCC is totally useful for me.
Another problem I found with MCC is the profiles. They simply don't work! For
eg.. I setup two profiles, gave different IPs, Gateways and DNS servers.
Whenever I change the profiles, only the IP changes.. the gateway and DNS
remain the same.. agian I have to go to linuxconf and set the correct DNS and
Gateway. Are other laptop users experiencing same problem?
I find really strange that Mandrake released a product w/o testing
everything. Please provide an update asap.. till them I would recommend not
using LM 8.0 on laptops.
btw, there was one more trouble I had.. whenever I did "service pcmcia
restart", the machine used to hang. This was gone when I moved my ethernet
card to Slot0 instead of slot1!
