Can you confirm that the nonfree firmware wasn't removed during a DVD
upgrade? Upgrading
using mgaapplet DID seem to remove the firmware from my install. I
had major issues with AMD
graphics, discussed elsewhere.
I just used the DVD to upgrade Mageia 1 on a laptop to Mageia 2, without
having a network cable attached. I did not try to connect to a network
during install.
It needs the non-free ipw2200-firmware for its wireless card to work
After reboot, WLAN functioned just as well as before upgrading. Even all
settings and the password were kept :)
It never works after a clean DVD install
