I have been toying with Linux for 2 weeks, i have tried SuSE (ran flawless cept no compiling tools included but i managed to get that goin)... then i tried knoppix, then i tried Red Hat and Finally Fedora b4 moving on to Mandrake. ALL OF WHICH WORKED outta the box with network/internet on my Gigabyte board. Now... i am a multimedia buff and i have been reading mandrake is the way to go when it comes to linux if thats yer thing. ALSO... after ALL THE CRAP i been through, i decided to BUY MANDRAKE 10.1 Powerpack DVD... and GUESS FUGGIN WHAT???? Same BS as what i been reading in this forum!!! I am not a newb to computers/networks but not a Linux Guru by any stretch. However, I'll have you know I have TRIED installing internet/network on Linux 10.1 official using the wizard for ADSL, LAN and Manual. I would like to ADD... i have tried now with THREE...count em... THREE WORKING Nics!! Not to mention I have reinstalled this pig-linux about 20 times in the past 24 hours. I have a Gigabyte GA 7N400 Pro2 mobo i have tried with the following THREE NICs Onboard Gigabyte Realtek 8169 PCI Realtek 8139c PCI D-Link 530-TX I have been up for over 24 hours TRYING to get this PoS to work and i can not... someone PLEASE tell me they have figured this out!!! I am really getting burnt up that i actually PUT OUT MONEY for a Free OS, in good faith that i was supporting the development of the best multimedia distro out there....and they didnt even tell me the glove was gonna be cold when i bent over Sure, i have a working gforce 6800, SB audigy and all that, but F%$# me! no internet???? WTF?? Sorry for my long post and my obvious frustration but i am so angry at Mandrake for releasing this crap in an "Official Release" that i PAID FOR!!! By the way, Windoze' internet werks FINE with any of the 3 NICs. Grrrr... Has anyone figured this out???
