Re: [newbie] Installing new hardware

[Wade Waldron]

Okay, maybe some more background is needed.  When I run the mandrake configuration utility, and look under the listed hardware I have a few unknown devices (like my network adapter).  I have looked around and found that my network adapter probably uses the pegasus driver.  I would like to set it up to use that driver to see if that will work.  I can not see anywhere in the Configuration utility that allows me to assign a driver to a device.  When I highlight the device, there are no options buttons or configuration buttons that show up.  When I right or left click I get nothing.  On the Right hand side it shows that there is no module loaded for that device so I try clicking there and nothing happens.  None of the menus have any options that suggest I can do that.  I ran the networking wizard, but nothing there seemed to help because it can't seem to find my network adapter (presumably because it is an unknown device) besides, that won't help with my other devices like my CD-RW.  There must be a way to manually assign a driver to a device, but for the life of me, I can not seem to find it.   Thanks, Wade ----- Original Message ----- From: Wade Waldron To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 11:05 PM Subject: [newbie] Installing new hardware I would like to install hardware while bypassing the Mandrake configuration utility.  Can someone give me an idea where to start.  Basically the hardware is installed, I just need to make the system aware of it and set up the drivers.   Wade
