Hi all, This seems to be an ongoing issue - can someone please help me with an answer for this user?
Cheers! Begin forwarded message: Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:17:09 -0400 From: Jason Kaiser <jasonhowardkai...@gmail.com> To: cont...@mageia.org Subject: Wifi Dear Team Mageia, I seriously wanted to love your OS, but I was not even able to connect to the internet via wifi. I'm not green--I've been using computers for 30 years and building them for about 15 of those years. I have installed about every OS known to man, but much as I wanted to LOVE Mageia, it just DOESN'T WORK WITH MY WIFI ADAPTER. After several hours of chat logs and discussions, I decided that it wasn't worth it. There are other OS's. I am running a Dell with an Intel i3 and I have to say that every single OS loads fine and recognizes my wifi adapter with no hassle at all. Mageia is different. It just doesn't work. There is so much I have to do to get it to recognize my Intel adapter--it's crazy and far beyond what any rational person would go through to get their computer connected to the Internet. I seriously hope that this is fixed because I really look forward to using Mageia. It looks great, but without the ability to get online, it's useless to me.

Dear Team Mageia,
I seriously wanted to love your OS, but I was not even able to connect to the internet via wifi. I'm not green--I've been using computers for 30 years and building them for about 15 of those years. I have installed about every OS known to man, but much as I wanted to LOVE Mageia, it just DOESN'T WORK WITH MY WIFI ADAPTER.

Thank you,
