Mandriva One 2008 Spring Eee PC Wi-Fi glitch  I've installed
Mandriva One 2008 Spring onto an Eee PC 900 using the installer
on the Live CD. I did this in the office and it works reasonably
well. At home, it's another matter however.  Here, booting takes
an age, and when it gets to loading the GUI, all I get is a
black screen with the pointer and the rotating Mandriva icon
thingy. The start-up jingle plays, but the screen stays black
but for the cursor.  If I disable Wi-Fi before booting, the
machine starts up, so clearly it's a Wi-Fi issue. My hunch is
that the system's looking for my work Netgear router and not
finding it at home.  Any ideas, Linux buffs, how I can persuade
Mandriva to ignore the missing access point and load the GUI -
KDE, by the way - so I can at least select an access point?

mini-map off the screen...]  Sponsored: 10 ways wire data helps
