   Thanks, TJ!  I don't (yet) monitor the Mageia group, because right now   
   I'm not running Mageia anywhere.  I suppose I should, especially as my   
   test system has room for seven distros.

   Chicken and egg situation... if I have a Mageia installation that   
   doesn't have wireless connectivity, how would I get those updates? :-)   
   My "production" system (wired DSL) has room for several distros as well,   
   so I suppose I ought to install Mageia on that if I can't get wireless   
   working with Mageia on my test system.

   On my test system, almost anything is worth a try!  Wireless   
   connectivity there depends on the distro.  Fedora's was trivial to set   
   up, and CentOS took a little (not much) work.  The other distros on it   
   don't have wireless working yet.  I'll have to download the latest   
   64-bit Mageia if I don't already have it, and try it on one machine or   
   the other.  Thanks again for your helpful advice!
