Hello!

There is some issues

1. WiFi - without ndiswpapper and XP Broadcom wifi driver - Mandriva can't connect to my Ad-Hoc network, but in Network center I can see my wlan connection.
With ndiswpapper and XP Broadcom wifi driver - Mandriva connect to my Ad-Hoc network successful(IP 192.168.1.3 - notebook, 192.168.1.2 - PC),
but ping to 192.168.1.2 says:
From 192.168.1.3 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.3 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.3 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.3 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable
...
ping 192.168.1.3 - is OK.

2. Noise.
when I close the lid notebook (goto sleep mode) begins squeak
squeak starts when the laptop lid is almost closed
such an effect is when a microphone and speakers are located close to each other
I turn off microphone, but it did not help.


Please help solve these problems.

The Audio Frequency feedback is called Squeal,  but this may not be
your trouble.
Look in your BIOS for 'Lid Closure Alarm' and turn it off.

You may need to find which Chip your WiFi uses,  and then install the
.rpm files for it. They should be on the 'non-free' mirrors.
