</I>><i>
</I>>><i> untill today it has happened that when writing, multiple times i get
</I>>><i> characters repeated like the keyboard key was stuck.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> When i runned Mandriva cooker 2 months ago i didnt had this problem so
</I>>><i> i went to see the differences between both packages
</I>>><i> kernel-firmware-nonfree (from Mageia) and kernel-firmware-extra (from
</I>>><i> Mandriva) and i saw that there are missing firmware files in the
</I>>><i> Mageia package, these files exist upstream, so i dont understand why
</I>>><i> werent them all put available in Mageia...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I presume you the files are:
</I>><i>
</I>><i> rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU_B.bin
</I>><i> rtlwifi/rtl8192cfwU.bin
</I>><i> rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin

These are not the only differences, check the output:
