   Thanks for the suggestion, TJ!  However, I tried both MCC and (AFAICT)   
   the plasma applet, both the Linux driver and the Windows XP driver with   
   ndiswrapper, both Mageia's own /etc/hosts file and mine (Mageia insists   
   on putting "127.0.0.1 eris.aplomb.invalid eris" at the top of   
   /etc/hosts), and so far nothing has worked.  I'm temporarily stumped,   
   but fortunately that's a test system.  Last night I also installed   
   Fedora 17 on it, and got the wireless network working right away using   
   their standard GUI setup tool.  If I want to get into this further, I   
   think it would be a question for the Mageia group.

   I tried RTFM and it explicitly said that setting only affects the   
   "charge remaining" indicator.
