I use Mandriva 2008.1 on my laptop. Never +had much in the way of keeping that connected. I occasionally have to +pop the pcmcia wifi to get it to connect first time, but it usually +(90% of the time) stays connected around the house. + +In contrast, I built a Mageia 2 Dell Inspiron laptop a few weeks ago +and it is the devil's own job to keep connected and re-connect after +it drops. Range to wifi gateway? I tested if at around 4feet - often +drops connection after only a few hours or minutes (depending on ... +temperature? Humidity? Day of the week?). + +To change the subject from a problem which possibly has a solution to +one which (so far as I can tell) hasn't; I see you have had an +interest in computer games of the timewasting solo variety; can I +interest you in a puzzle which has troubled me for decades? + +Do you know those little plastic squares with 24 alphabet tiles in a +5x5 grid? The idea is to push the tiles around until you have them in +alphabetic order left to right, top to bottom, with an empty square in +the bottom right corner. + +Back in the mid-eighties I wrote a version of this game for my +Sinclair QL. I stored the tiles in a one-dimension array where they +were initially shuffled. + +I discovered, after much trial and error, that the chances of being +able to solve the puzzle after shuffling is almost exactly 1 in 2. The +problem is that 50% of shuffles results in an order where, by the +rules of tile movement, two adjacent tiles must be exchanged - and +that is not possible. + +Any ideas how to test the shuffled result to determine if such a +transposition exists _without_ solving the game? + +Just a thought. + +Richard + +On 10/08/2012, Shlomi Fish <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">shlomif at shlomifish.org</A>> wrote: +><i> Hi all, +</I>><i> +</I>><i> my Mageia 2 Wireless LAN (Wifi) Connection keeps getting disconnected.
