Re: [Cooker] Xircom Realport Cardbus (RBEM-56G) still broke
Oh, shock! You mean I'm not the only one with a Xircom Cardbus card? :-) Yes, I too have been spurned by the mandrake team. I have to manually install it on my laptop.

With Mandrake 8.2 and still with latest Cooker I get the ethernet (eth0) on the Xircom card coming up only in half-duplex mode (during install it is full-duplex).

Nope. I have one as well. I also described it early in beta1 of Cooker 8.2. Did you download SkipJack from RedHat's main site?

Re: [Cooker] Xircom Realport Cardbus (RBEM-56G) still broke
I presently have Win2K, WinXP(RC1) and Redhat 7.3 (skipjack) on this notebook. All work fine with the Xircom card. Mandrake 8.1 works fine also! During DrakX install it works fine also! Only after a fresh install of 8.2 (or Cooker) does it continue to boot in half-duplex. Cheers On Mon, 2002-04-01 at 01:26, Mike Calloway wrote: Nope. I have one as well.
