   One low-tech solution... Temporarily move the "wireless" system close   
   enough to make a wired connection, get the updates, then go from there.   
   Or, for an even MORE inelegant solution, buy enough cable to make a   
   wired connection, use it temporarily if needed, and store it in a closet   
   or somewhere when not needed.

   If you have Mageia 2, you have the latest stable version. Mageia 3's   
   first alpha has only just been released. Of course, you could always   
   wait another six months for Mageia 3's final release...
