Detailed Description

With the same laptop it is possible to have a wireless connection with Mageia 1 whereas it is impossible with Mageia 2. I tested several wireless routers (in several B&B during my last holidays), if the level is < 55% Mageia 2 can't connect at all. Mageia 1 can connect as low as 47% with break down every minutes. At 50% the connection is reliable. Unfortunately, public wireless were around 50%. Why this difference ?

Why it would be good for Mageia to include it

Wifi is more and more common and a distribution with bad wireless features is useless.

Test case

Anything useful for QA and all testers to help debugging during all development cycle
