+ I've been through all that on a netbook with Broadcom BCM43225 and
+running fully-updated Mageia-3-A2.
+ I now have solid WiFi after starting to use NetworkManager, which I
+installed with the following instructions:
+
+ (1) Install plasma-applet-networkmanager*, and add it to your
+ panel.
+ (To find its icon, Unlock Widgets, go into the 'Panel Tool
+ Box' on the right of the KDE panel, select &quot;Add Widgets&quot;
+ Then type &quot;network&quot; in the Categories box, and float your mouse
+ cursor over each until you find Network Management.
+ Double-click on this one and it will show up somewhere on your
+ Panel.)
+
+ (2) In /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf change:
+ &quot;plugins=ifcfg-rh,keyfile&quot; to:
+ &quot;plugins=keyfile&quot;
+
+ (3) Click on the NM applet. It should bring up a dialog which will
+ list your SSID. Click on it to connect (or configure)
+
+ This has withstood all s/w updates so far, which is more than I can
+say for Mageia-2 which is my bread-and-butter install on the netbook.
+ Its WiFi was at first working but a s/w update broke it, though
+over in Google-land I saw a suggestion to install:
+
+ kernel-firmware-nonfree*
+
+after which the WiFi was back to normal.
+ However I have not dared not do any more s/w updates to Mageia-2 in
+case the WiFi breaks again, though I guess I could always try
+NetworkManager if it did (or start using M3A2 as main system).
+
+(*Tried that on Mageia-3-A2 but did not solve the problem.)
