Mandriva 2009.1, Gnome desktop. I too had issues as others have reported with the network upgrade. Half way through it just stopped and I ended up downloading and burning the 'dual' iso and installing from that. Since then I've been seeing this in my syslog after I've brought up the configuration:

I haven't the faintest idea what the cause but I'd like to know what is causing it.

Anyone able to assist?

Thanks
Chris
