I sent a mail about an issue to this list a few days ago.. but I think
it may have been lost in the 'Great downage of the Mandrake lists' of
which I will be telling my grandchildren.. anyway..
It was a hope I had for the 9.0 release..
With 9.0beta3 my alcatel speed touch USB adsl modem (the frog) was
recognised on installation, and upon attempting to install the relevant
software for it, I was informed to download mgmt.o to place in a certain
location.. all well and good.. but idea 1: Is it not possible for the
installation mechanism to prompt the user to insert a floppy disk and
attempt to get the file from it (for those of us that plan ahead.. but
aren't smart enough to get it in the right place manually during
installation).
After installation, I put the file where it should be, attempted to
configure the connection properly.. following the wizard.. and it
wouldn't work proporly.. connected me to the internet... but only once..
and never again afterwards.. this lead to idea 2, which i admit is
hardly novel: Could perhaps the alcatel speed touch adsl modem
configuration and usage be made to work 100% perfectly? :)
Many thanks
