Hello!
I have Mandriva2006 installed in my laptop Toshiba S1800-100.
I have tried to install the usb card wireless D-Link DWL-G122 B1.
While installing the driver for the card the command modprobe rt2570 did not work, so I changed the Makefile from usr/src/linux : in the line EXTRAVERSION = -12mdkcustom I put EXTRAVERSION = -12mdk. Now when I start the system with the wireless card inside the usb port, the computer freezes. If I put the card into the usb port after starting the system, the card is recognized, but the keyboard freezes in about three minutes; the mouse works; the other usb port does not, when I tried to put there the memory stick it was not recognized. Here is the message from the syslog file that I think corresponds to the moment of hanging up: Sep 30 13:49:23 localhost kernel: hub 1-0:1.0: port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling... Sep 30 13:49:23 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 2 The memory stick alone works perfectly, without any problem. I hope somebody can help me. Thank you all in advance. Irina |

I suggest that you try IRC Server: irc.freenode.net Channel: #mandriva Most times someone will be able to resolve your problem quickly. |

Thank you for the reply. But I can't enter the server. |

What IRC client are you using? |
| Irisat Oct 02, 2006 2:30 AM EDT |
Sorry, I don't know what is IRC client. |

Was starting to figure that. Try asking here : http://mandrivausers.org/ As for IRC clients, In Mandriva you should have ksirc already available. In Windows, X-chat 2 is a decent free IRC : client http://www.silverex.org/download/ Although it touts mIRC, This is a good explanation of what IRC is and what it does: http://www.mirc.com/irc.html |

Uninstall Mandriva and use another distro that doesn't suck. |

> Uninstall Mandriva and use another distro that doesn't suck. Oh, I wouldn't say Mandriva sucks. It's more a case of... hmm, ...uhm,...er... OK. You're right, it sucks. |

I used to like Mandrake, but that was at 8.0. I like how they had different setups geared toward server or desktop installations. You could still choose everything, but it made it easy to choose between a workstation setup and a server setup. I thought that was pretty neat. I haven't used it since I tried SUSE 8.0, so I don't know much about the new Mandriva. |

I believe that PCLinuxOS is based on Mandriva. More than one of the LXer members would swear by that one. I just gave it a try, and, (if you must use an rpm based distro) it's very nice. A good choice for a new user. |

I think I have a copy of PCLinuxOS. I should probably give it a bit more of a trial. |

> PCLinuxOS I've tried it as a live CD, and it seems to be OK. It won't replace Slackware on my machine any time soon, but it and Mepis are definitely my second tier. |
