The little info says not wl driver : not at all (- (but my guess is: probably yes) All these people have problems configuring their wl driver, and are ready to test new wl software (re little info: have a look at the bugzilla reports) - I just tried to make a list in response to what David Hodgins said on testing a fix as soon as it becomes available. The primary problem I see is that in Mageia, two different approaches for configuring drivers are available. Some hardware works with one, some with the other, some with neither (and in some instances where one does works, the other one interferes with negative consequences). I have seen several opinions which approach to pursue - maybe the fundamental problem still needs more clarification. Questions seem to be (1) why does one (or both) driver(s) for BCMxxx not work (in an ideal work, both should work, and the user should be able to pick one or the other) and (2) as long as the 2 approaches are available side-to-side, how/why do they interfere with each other and how can that be kept under control and (3) what will Mageia suggest as a solution that works out of the box for Mageia 3 and what approach does Mageia prefer at mid-range (not necessarily the same) - the Jason Kaiser email puts the user aspect of the problem into a nutshell. Afterthought: an appropriate reply to Jason could be: this is cauldron and still a pre-release ...

Al 23/03/13 12:04, En/na Juergen Harms ha escrit: BCM43228juergen.ha...@unige.ch 7828Dell Latitude E6530 I have a dell latitude E6530, but it has a BCM4313 (according to lscpi) and it is working fine with the wl driver and NetworkManager. It also works with the in-kernel driver, IIRC brcmsmac, (which I'd prefer since it supports packet injection) but performance is unacceptable. Mageia 2, BTW, this is my work machine and I need it to work, so I cannot test mageia 3/cauldron (I have a virtual machine ready to test the upgrade when it is available). Bye -- Luca
