satelliteuser083 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I am using Mandrake 10.1 (on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600), which gives me good internet access. However, if I try to set up two internet connections (through System configuration tool -> Network & Internet -> New connection) using the same device (pcmcia-card) the CURRENT one is overwritten. Is there a restriction of a single connection per device, in which case I'll have to keep changing it whenever I'm away from home, or is there some clever way of getting around this problem. Help would be appreciated Lawrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 What you're basically asking for is connection profiles, and there are a few tools to do this on Linux. MDK has a home-grown one called drakroam, which is intended for wireless cards but may well do what you need (I dunno, I haven't really looked at it). Anyway, if that's not enough, post back, or just do some Googling on network profiles linux and check urpmi for packages of any interesting apps you find.

satelliteuser083 Posted March 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Thanks adam, but unfortunately haven't been able to find drakroam, could you help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satelliteuser083 Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I seem to be missing a small but vital piece of info here. Can't find drakroam (or, from another topic, diskdrake) on my installation. Where does one start to find these things? Nothing in 'help', anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satelliteuser083 Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 (edited) devries, thanks for the tip, went there and found drakxtools-10.1-26mdk.i586.rpm, hope this is the correct one. Now the tricky bit: I'm a newby and have not yet had the pleasure (??) of installing a downloaded package. How do I go about this? Presume it's easy, but wouldn't want to ruin the last week's work and have to re-install. Grateful for another tip. 8.3.2005: installed 'drakxtools-10.1-26mdk.i586.rpm' using MCC -> Software Management -> Install, which resulted in 'drakxtools_http' being started at boot (according to MCC -> System -> Services). What on Earth does this mean; would also like to know how these drakxtools are supposed to be used ? Can't find any mention of them elsewhere!
