Unruh, thanks for the advice. As I said in the original, Mandriva pops an
app up to do the work of installing the wrapper. I fully understand the
need to have "exactly" the right driver, the one I was using was the one
supplied with the card by D-Link, which works perfectly under PCLinuxOS (a
Mandriva spin off).

As far as developers working hard to get wireless working, one would think
they would. My experience has been otherwise. I have two unique
situations, the one I originally wrote about and one that requires PPPOE to
log onto ADSL. I know the Ubuntu family does not fully support this
protocol. I queried then and was told "Its on the CD we just did not load
it in the install." Does that sound a bit dense to you? NOTHING is more
important in today's world than internet connectivity.

AS for the two "true beleivers." All I was trying to do in posting to two
newsgroups is give folks a "heads-up" on a Mandriva problem. I guess you
would prefer denial.
