   If you run a search in bugzilla for "ALL wireless", and take   
   a look at how many have been marked fixed.  There has been   
   quite a bit of activity on many wireless bugs.   
      
   Don't forget Mageia is a community distribution.  There are no   
   employees or staff, just volunteers.  It is difficult to troubleshoot   
   problems that only affect certain models, when the developers don't   
   have access to similar hardware.
