Support for my devices?


First off I am a newb, but I use MD10 (that's why the post is here)... as a matter of fact I'm so new I just installed it last night.

Basically I am having issues with getting a few of my devices to operate properly...

Radeon 9800 Pro - 3D acceleration seems to chug (TuxRacer, etc).
I saw a detailed post about how to fix this as well as ATI's site has instructions for installing their driver... which would you guys recommend? (The post looks like it may be a little older than ATI's instructions, but I could be wrong).

Linksys LNE100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter (LNE100TX v4) - Detected and installed the card but can't seem to use it. I told it to use all of the settings already stored in the card when it prompted me, is that ok? When I searched it doesn't look like anyone's asked about problems with this NIC since MD7.

D-Link AirPlus DWL-520+ - It recognized the chipset on the card when it did a detection, but didn't have a driver in the list that was compatible so nothing was installed for it. When I searched, it looked like the ACX100 driver from sourceforge may help, anyone know if that's correct or what is?

And last, but most definitely not least...

Gyration Ultra GT (wireless) Mouse & Keyboard combo - I don't even know where to start on this one... from my searching it looked like people had gotten the mouse only to work, but not both (someone thought it was due to it using one receiver for both), However that info I was reading is now over a year old, and may be outdated. Hopefully someone knows about this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

i'd say check out your hardware with Mandrake's hardware database to see if someone has a known issue, and there might be a solution there for you as well. i've read much about ATI Radeon cards having crappy Linux drivers. sorry i can't help you much more than that, i'm also a

Well... I was able to find 2 of 4 on there, that show that some people have gotten them to work (the Linksys & ATI), but I don't see listings for either my specific D-Link card or the Gyration equipment... any thoughts?
