   On the alt.os.linux.mageia forum, TJ recently posted a new topic,   
   Replacing a wireless driver module.  You might take a look at   
   that, and follow any responses it gets. Dealing with a dongle   
   seems to be treacherous.   
      
   I vaguely remember posts on dongle problems in Australia a few   
   years ago.  That may have been you, of course, but if not try   
   http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?q=& and search   
   alt.os.linux.mandriva for dongle and wireless for maybe 2005 to   
   the present.  If no hits, try 2000 to 2005.   
      
   WRT your sister's router, I do not know about Australian   
   cable companies, but in the U.S. their residential routers   
   generally have four ethernet ports plus the wireless capability.   
     You may have to carry your own ethernet cable to connect to it,   
   though, if your syster uses only wireless.   
      
   Cheers!
