Hi, all, I am still struggling to identify the root cause of my wireless problems (for those of you having read my recent Netgear MA401 email, you know what I am talking about) - to recap: I am at the point of having to use two different DHCP servers (at home and at work), with two different scopes ... after having "patched" all sorts of scripts (network-functions), and forced non-default drivers (orinoco_cs, vs. wvlan_cs), I am still struggling with the fact that upon moving the laptop from one place (i.e. DHCP server) to the other, the system "remembers" the IP address from the other location, and it does not consider the new scope, neither getting the proper mask or default gateway. NOTE: of course booting my system into M$'s W2K gets everything up just fine ... how the H* are they doing that?!?
I am sorry - but after having shot my whole weekend, I am tired - mainly - of the non-standard way of handling wireless networking in Mandrake (inherited from RedHat, I assume), and also frustrated of having to read each script, one line at a time, to determine what is being done when, and how, in order to trace all the problems ... so here is my kind request to you: is there any kind soul out there able to point me to a document describing in detail the networking boot-up process for Mandrake 9.0, at least for the new scripts for wireless? I know Linux is all about learning one's self, but I was hoping I can move on to new stuff, doing so, with a working system, rather than having to fix problems of things which should have worked to begin with ... I would think ... sorry if I am wrong here ... Thx, Stef
