Yes. And with MAG1 and MAG2 and Mdv 2010.x it operated out of the box
here, no fuss, no mention of looking for. it just worked. Same netbook
worked with openSuse but never with network manager nor with Gnome.
And now it does not work with MGA3 and (after all this testing MGA3)
it does not work anymore with MGA2. using the same software as a
couple of weeks ago. So I get the impression that something else was
changed, not just the version of the os.
