Hello: Derek Jennings, in this list, led me through the process of enabling Internet for Mandrake 9.2 and a wireless adapter. I now have another computer which I want to run with Mandrake 10.0, but the configuration which worked in 9.2 doesn't work for this version.
What Derek taught me: Mandrake (9,2) loads 2 drivers for the wireless adapter (SMC 2662W VS..3) I have plugged in that computer: "atmelwlandriver", and "at76c503c". The problem was to exclude the first and use the second. He had more than one ways to do it. First, write the lines: usbvnet_rfmd usbvnet_r505_2958 in /etc/hotplug/blacklist. Then, make a configuration file for wlan0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts called /fcfg-wlan0, which is this one: &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& DEVICE=wlan0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=172.16.1.36 NETMASK=255.255.0.0 NETWORK=172.16.0.0 ONBOOT=yes BROADCAST=172.16.255.255 WIRELESS_ENC_KEY=94:41:94:54:75 WIRELESS_RATE=11M WIRELESS_MODE=managed WIRELESS_ESSID=2WIRE193 &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Either I made a mistake, or I have to do things in a different way for 10.0. Derek, if you find you can have a little time for considering this, I will appreciate it. Teilhard.
