</I>Wifi problem solved by rummaging around on Mandriva. It seems that a
range of Intel wifi devices are supported in packages called
iwlwifi-nnnn-ucode where nnnn id the type like 3945. Mageia knows about
these already. urpmi then click on the network icon on the panel and
the network choices come up immediately. A few seconds work and no
reboot. There seemed to be a daemon running already just waiting for
the correct module to be loaded. Simples!
