After install, it locked up at +boot (even Magickeys are dead). After a big diggin, it is the b43 kernel +driver that locks everything at boot when it is loaded without firmware files. + +This is a regression, a bug report is done : +<A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4798">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4798</A> + +Now the question : should we default installing b43-openfwwf as it is an +open-source firmware? Not only it solves this bug, but it also allows direct +use of Broadcom 4312 Wifi cards. + +zezinho + + +PS: Another problem is that b43 driver uses several firmware files for several +different hardware, and b43-openfwwf only brings one of them.
