Ok, here I may have been too fast. I went online, set the media including non-free and shot at 'urpmi dkms-broadcom-wl'- The system installed 18 packages but at the end it gave errors: Error! Could not locate wl.ko.xz for module broadcom-wl in the DKMS tree. Yoou must run a dkms build for kernel first- warning: %post(dkms-broadcom-wl-5.100.82.112-5.mga3.non-free.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 4 -- wobo
