Guillaume, can you try this rpm please (in progress, ignore %post error): http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/ifplugd-0.11-1mdk.i586.rpm (SRPM available there too). Just send me the output of 'ifstatus -v' with the cards and drivers you use. It works on the on-board rtl8139 in my uni desktop, but not on the 3c589_cs in my laptop, or the ne2k-pci in my home desktop. Anyone else is also free to try this, and also report, but either keep it on the list, and only drivers that haven't been tested, or attach to bug 780 (maybe I should make a new one?): https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=780 Regards, Buchan -- |----------------Registered Linux User #182071-----------------| Buchan Milne Mechanical Engineer, Network Manager Cellphone * Work +27 82 472 2231 * +27 21 8828820x121 Stellenbosch Automotive Engineering http://www.cae.co.za GPG Key http://ranger.dnsalias.com/bgmilne.asc 1024D/60D204A7 2919 E232 5610 A038 87B1 72D6 AC92 BA50 60D2 04A7
