-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandrake Linux Update Advisory _______________________________________________________________________ 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. ______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandrake Linux 9.2: 93c41f233aea463f39f97e21cce25945 9.2/RPMS/drakxtools-9.2-19.2.92mdk.i586.rpm 2bd5241c7b74c49c8cbdb0977e1a073c 9.2/RPMS/drakxtools-http-9.2-19.2.92mdk.i586.rpm 98fd8998ebf5c1b11f2e09413502d40e 9.2/RPMS/drakxtools-newt-9.2-19.2.92mdk.i586.rpm 5c61431417ce4b5c47aec2f1136f0143 9.2/RPMS/harddrake-9.2-19.2.92mdk.i586.rpm 7008bb1b92e57666146e40fbf3025fd7 9.2/RPMS/harddrake-ui-9.2-19.2.92mdk.i586.rpm 143eabb1365119112210a3d3afba288d 9.2/SRPMS/drakxtools-9.2-19.2.92mdk.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ Bug IDs fixed (see http://qa.mandrakesoft.com for more information): 3690 - Drakconnect recognizes my ethernet and my wireless as one card 5143 - USB wireless device nearly working 5814 - Usbvnet_rfmd is not detected and not configurable _______________________________________________________________________ Bug IDs fixed (see http://bugs.mandrakelinux.com for more information): 18 - Sound config gets overwritten 50 - pap-secrets is created world readable _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi.
