Hi,

 

I have a Dell latitude X300, i just installed new version 10.1 OE (until lasta week i used 10 CE), i have some problems:

 

1) Very low booting speed, i changed like version 10 ifup ethx to ifup ethx &, but still slow, it take long minutes to finish boot

 

2) Speaker conected to the mediabase doesn't work, if i conected directly to the notebook everything os ok

 

3) Wifi dosen't work, last version i use ndiswrapper and everything is ok, one of the reasons for change to this version was wifi support

 

Thanks for any help

 

 

:thanks:

there are several dhcp clients for mandrake. you could try a different one than the currently installed one. maybe one of the other clients works better with your network-services. give it a try. you can always reinstall the "old" dhcp client from your cds if that does not help at all.

Please hit ESC during the boot process and tell us what's showing on the screen when the boot process is slow. As far as wifi goes, can you be more specific than 'doesn't work'? What type of card are you using? Do you get useful error messages in dmesg?

 

It stop at initiating network services

 

Cards are:

Wifi: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 BG

Lan: BCM 705M 1000BaseTX

 

No usefull info

You might want to try editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 (I expect your cards are eth0 and eth1, respectively) and adding MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=YES to both. Let us know if that helps any. If it doesn't, revert the change.

 

 

No change
