Dear Team Mageia,
I seriously wanted to love your OS, but I was not even able to connect
to the internet via wifi. I'm not green--I've been using computers for
30 years and building them for about 15 of those years. I have
installed about every OS known to man, but much as I wanted to LOVE
Mageia, it just DOESN'T WORK WITH MY WIFI ADAPTER. After several hours
of chat logs and discussions, I decided that it wasn't worth it. There
are other OS's. I am running a Dell with an Intel i3 and I have to
say that every single OS loads fine and recognizes my wifi adapter with
no hassle at all. Mageia is different. It just doesn't work. There is
so much I have to do to get it to recognize my Intel adapter--it's
crazy and far beyond what any rational person would go through to get
their computer connected to the Internet. I seriously hope that this
is fixed because I really look forward to using Mageia. It looks
great, but without the ability to get online, it's useless to me.
Thank you,
Jason Kaiser
