The thing is that the Prism54 driver comes with Mandrake 10.0 Official. It is just a matter of installing it for the card, but the Mandrake Control Centre does not, in my view, works as it should. I have had some other references in Internet where the situation for the owners of a copy of my card have exactly the same problems I have. I have other machines, and in them everything was straightforward. Of course, they use other devices. The option to install the receiver existed along with the "manual Choice", and just selecting it I was in Internet right away. No luck this time, I suppose. Teilhard.
