The most notable examples of affected firmware are
- ATI/AMD Radeon cards (free driver)
- Broadcom Tigon3 Gigabit Ethernet
- Intel PRO/100 Ethernet
- Matrox G200/G400/G550
I have used Broadcom Tigon3 and ATI/AMD Radeon x700 without firmware, and it
works basicaly enough to allow users to decide to get the firmware by them
selves.
Really? I recall many problems running Mageia from the Dual CD on my x86-64
with an ATI Mobility Radeon card, and my old (and now decommissioned) i586
machine with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro card until I installed and configured
the firmware from "non-free" and rebuilt the initrd.
If you do decide on doing it, please make sure the framebuffer is not used for
these cards.

Same BIG problems here. DVD default installation is de facto BROKEN.
Please don't use radeon fb driver.
There were bugs on it on our bugzilla.
