 Package name:           drakxtools
 Advisory ID:            MDKA-2003:027
 Date:                   November 14th, 2003

 Affected versions:	 9.2

 Problem Description:

 A number of bugs have been fixed in the drakxtools package.  Primarily,
 problems with drakconnect were fixed.  The old behaviour of drakconnect
 to detect network interfaces was to load all of the network modules
 corresponding to current hardware and look for network interfaces
 created by the module loading.  However, determining network
 interfaces in this way prevented drakconnect from ever seeing USB
 ethernet adapters.  As well, the way in which drakconnect mapped real
 network interfaces to a logical configuration prevented drakconnect from
 mapping interfaces without an alias in /etc/modules.conf.  Finally,
 drakconnect had problems handling wireless network devices correctly.
 The updated package also provides a more up-to-date wireless modules
 list so drakconnect is able to determine more types of wireless
 devices.
 
 A number of other smaller bugs have been repaired as well and
 MandrakeSoft encourages all users to upgrade to these new packages.
