[Mageia-dev] What is happening with WiFi on Mageia-3?

I'm using Mageia-2 on my netbook for normal work, at the same checking out
+Mageia-3-Alpha2 (fully updated).  WiFi adaptor is Broadcom BCM43225.
+
+On Mageia-2 the Wifi worked fine - at first - but after the recent s/w update
+it started all over again 'Looking for software', after which it suffered the
+'Cannot found network' dead end. No WiFi.
+
+However, looking around Google-land I saw a suggestion to install
+"kernel-firmware-nonfree", which I did, and this has brought WiFi back to life.
+
+So I then tried the same install on Mageia-3-Alpha2, but sadly it still (and
+always has) failed "Connection failed" (though it sees the SSID).
+
+I also tried Ubuntu 12.01 and Mint 13 KDE, on both of which WiFi worked 'out of
+the can'.
+
+When can we have a Mageia with WiFi that works and is reliable, please?
