 A new upload occured last week with i810fb and pcmcia updates (at least).
 At least Vincent Meyer could test it (and reported a bug which is fixed
 now -- and a new upload should occur within minutes now).

Is tested.  Close, but not quite there yet.  The install image works well.  
The installer seems to know it needs pcmcia-cs, and loads the appropriate 
stuff. Power down and back up again after the install completes, and the 
pcmcia card services turn on, and the card is active, but no network 
conncetion.

Running netconf in the configuration menu shows the first entry is for eth0.  
It is not enables.  I clicked to enable it, dhcp was already set as the 
default.  Put in pcnet_cs as the kernel driver.  Exit netconf, let it do what 
it suggests needs doing -- and like magic !  a working network!

Well, we're progressing :-)).

Ouch.

So we're close -- but could you investigate to see why the network is not
up after the install ? You may also send the /root/report.bug, it may help
guess what's going on (as usual..).

Well maybe my english is poor or everyone's mind is cluttered.

 changelogs and other such hidden dainties.

Ok it seems that there is something with @mandrakesoft and @linux-mandrake

 With regards to appreciation of the MCWN, I am not sure what to say.  I
 personally did not really care for it in full.  People who do not
 receive or actively participate in the cooker list got a lot out of it. 
 I personally _did_ appreciate it when some undiscussed/unnoticed things
 were brought to my attention in the MCWN.
 From the beginning, I could tell you put in a great deal of work for
 those.  On one side this made me appreciate even more your own persons,
 but on the other I occasionally wondered if it was really worth all of
 your trouble (I, too, noticed a great absence of support).
 
 Whatever you choose to do, be it yay or nay or different interval or

so what ? I don't get what you mean. we just told that now i810 is not
ugly anymore (vga16) since through i810fb.o kernel module we can have
frame-buffer support for i810.

afaik for sis/s3 we do have frame-buffer support by default and the
