If I boot 5.28 from a CD I cannot get the system to recognise any fixed or wireless internet connection.
I suspect that either 5.28 is not waiting long enough for this old hardware to respond or the drivers that work for this hardware in 5.25 are not included in 5.28.
I am happy with 5.25 so its not vital that I get 5.28 working I am just intrigued why it wont work
Cheers
