I am in the transition from windows to linux and probably the biggest question I have is about wireless networking. My network is using a belkin 54MB/S adapter and belkin router, all the other computers on the network are windows 2000. Exactly how do I set my network adapter and network settings in mandrake? The network is encrypted also. It is set on static IP. Is there any other applications I need to set it up on my computer? -Thanks
