I have followed the instructions I have found at Deja.com regarding this issue. Apparently versions earlier than 4 work ok, but 4.0 4.1 do not. I do not have a different card to use, but I am considering just getting one and dumping the linksys. I am sure it is a good card, but $20.00 is not worth my time. Jerold I'm using a Linksys LNE 100TX version 4.1 This card has worked fine in Red Hat, Suse and Mandrake. I'm using mine with DHCP setup for my cable modem connected through a Linksys Router.

I would suggest if you are having problems there's probably a conflict with another card. I had that problem and just moved it to another slot on the motherboard.

[newbie] Prgs in KDE open real slow
After a new install of Mandrake things in KDE seem to start real slow. I'm waiting around 15 to 20 seconds for things to show up in KDE Looking in through KDE control center for memory I show: Total physical memory = 130.66 Free physical memory = 3.04 Shared memory = 0 Buffer = 7.92 Total Swap memory = 248.97 Free Swap memory = 248.97 Why am I using 127 meg of physical memory to run mandrake? I've run Suse, with KDE 2.1 and use just about half as much memory? Is this typical of Mandrake with KDE2? Thanks

Perhaps creating a new temporary user would help. Log in as that user, run X-windows and check the mimetypes and set-up applications. After that you should be able to get going in copying the .kde/share/applnk and .kde/share/mimelnk folders from the temp-user to your own ~/.kde/share ddirectory. chown them, and things should be pretty much back to normal again. If someone else has a better idea, then just forget what I said. Good luck, Paul Thanks for the suggestion but I tried a new user and have the same problem.
[newbie] Corel Graphics 9 changing KDE menu
I added a number of packages to Mandrake 7.2 and something messed up the KDE menus. After a re-install I tried to duplicate the process to see who was the culprit. Corel graphics program changes the KDE menu structure. The things that change is the option to click on a file and open it up in one of the KDE related programs. For example if I click on a rpm file it will not open up in KDE's rpmpackage. Same for text with kedit, and graphics do not pop up in the KDE graphics viewing program. It also removed my Applix dir from the KDE applications menu completely. Can anyone give me an idea on how track down what changed. I did a re-install of KDEbase and KDEadmin from CD but still have the same problem. John
