how do i configure a wireless connection on mandrake? is there a user friendly gui application without having to jump through a lot of hoops. I can spend hours and figure it out, but I really just want to get it working right now...

thanks.

Ok I'm getting there...star->system->configuration-> hardware->run harddrake

choose wireless, put in your ssid info, put in your encryption key, and IDEALLY it should work...

i will try it with 128 bit manual encryption and disabled if this doesn't work.

see i knew it could be done of course.

Ok I got my wireless network card set up.

you have to put a dollar sign ($) before manually entering the 128 bit encryption key, never understood why this was necessary, but I had to do the same thing with an ibook I was trying to get on the network.

thanks guys
