[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

please make sure that you have configured your wireless interface with 
the Mandrake Control Center.

If you require more assistance, please send at support at linuxant.com the 
output of the following commands entered in a root shell while you are 
close to the access point you are trying to connect to.

---
dmesg
cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
iwlist eth1 scanning
ifdown eth1
ifup eth1
ifconfig -a
iwconfig
ip route
ip addr
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ping www.linuxant.com -I eth1 -c 5
ping 63.246.159.50 -I eth1 -c 5
tail -f -n 30 /var/log/messages
