Installed 8.0 last summer, but networking didn't work. Tried the tech support that came with the powerpack but was useless,( they didn't seem to care or know). So I thought that I would give you guys a shot at it now that I have some time to play with it again.
I have a Soyo Dragon motherboard with a VIA chipset nic, using VIA-rhine kernel module. This set up worked on an earlier version of mandrake, but doesn't work on this one. The chipset is a VT 82C100A. I'm using the automatic IP to obtain the IP address from my router. However the network card never works and isn't able to obtain that address. The system works fine on windows 98 and also worked on a 7.02 mandrake release. Has anyone found similar problems with this motherboard or is this a kernel issue? Thanks, Dennis
