The other day I installed Mandrake Linux 9.1 and all things internet worked fine. So I get to thinking that I’ll go one better and give myself an upgrade to the recently released 9.2. 9.2 is definitely slicker than 9.1, but for the life of me I have yet to get my adsl modem, a Speedtouch 330, to connect to the internet. I needed to download the microcode (mgmt.o) with 9.1 to get it to work, but that was the only drama. I assumed that it would be the same in 9.2. I have found a few pages about the issue but as yet none have worked.
When I get it working I will post an answer here incase anyone else has the same issues.
Update I found this that I will try tomorrow – looking hopeful.
Reading: Gore Vidal’s ‘Inventing a Nation’. It’s about some of the founding fathers of the US, and their original vision/reservations for the future of the Union. I find Mr Vidal’s style so enjoyable to read that it is hard to put down.
