<A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5467">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5467</A>
For best HW compatibility, but not having to download a whole CD.
(It is much for some people)

Actually i have changed wifi now for better performance.
I wil test whatever gets asked in the bug.
-if it is at all intended to be supported or we just set this as enhancement
request(s) instead.
