+<PRE>I'm sorry if this sounds silly, but did you wait at least 2 minutes
+for drakconnect to test your network? It takes at least that length of
+time on all of my installs (and always reports failure).

+</I>&gt;<i> How quickly you start the boot changes the outcome of the boot. I can

+</I>&gt;<i> times during the first 0-2 seconds after the boot menu appears.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> If I immediately select the safe mode menu item I can now get to a
+</I>&gt;<i> command line. If I wait longer it will hang at 2 different points
+</I>&gt;<i> depending on how long I wait.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The wired network connection doesn't work after booting. If I run
+</I>&gt;<i> drakconnect I can see that the settings are correct for the wired
+</I>&gt;<i> interface and there is no entry for the wireless interface. When I save
+</I>&gt;<i> the setting drakconnect locks up while testing the connection. If I
+</I>&gt;<i> disable the wired interface drakconnect saves and exits without problem.
+</I>&gt;<i> However when I reboot the default boot entry now locks up while trying
+</I>&gt;<i> to start the network: &quot;Starting LSB: Bring up/down networking...&quot;
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I install over the network so I know there is no additional firmware
+</I>&gt;<i> required for the wired interface. I'm open to suggestions (other than
+</I>&gt;<i> chucking the laptop out the window, which is a very appealing idea right
+</I>&gt;<i> now!)
