hi, I could test Beta1 with real hardware i586. 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 : 
+https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4798
+
+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.
+

+
+
+PS: Another problem is that b43 driver uses several firmware files for several 
+different hardware, and b43-openfwwf only brings one of them. So it will not be 
+usefull for any b43 hardware.
