   I would not recommend asking about problems in one distribution in   
   another distribution Usenet group. If your distribution's Usenet group   
   does not have sufficient subject matter experts, I suggest changing   
   distribution or only post in the distribution's forums.

   True to a point, but BitTwister is constantly having to modify scripts   
   to use current software. Mandriva is getting farther behind the curve   
   and my scripts will not automagically be able to pull needed   
   information to run.   
      
   I also have very little technical WiFi experience and after 3 Mageia releases   
   I know wifi soft/hardware rpm names have changed.
