No, actually it doesn't
and pegasus.o isn't loaded automatically so I have to do it myself
rupertthebear~# su
root~# insmod pegasus
In mandrake I tell dhcpcd to:
root~# dhcpcd -h user.name
(where i've changed user.name for security reasons)
which configures It for me, no problems there since, if that helps.

Ifconfig, no network, no way of getting the latest unstable packages.gz
