As usual with *.0 releases Mandrake 10.0 has a load of problems - USB
keyboard and mouse aren't detected (even though they were found flawlessly
in 9.2). Its messed up its detection of a bog standard Hauppage TV-card
which worked perfectly from install under 9.2. It was supposed to come
with drivers for Atheros wireless cards (unless I mis-read a post I saw
somewhere a couple of months ago) but doesn't - MADwifi is pretty mature
at this stage, I see no reason why they wouldn't include it. At least they
decided to include the kernel source drivers this time round (and for 9.2
these were strangely misnamed on certain mirrors).

I'm sticking with 9.2 until 10.1 / 10.2 is out.
