</I>>>><i> Confirmed here as well. But it must be related to kernel change.
</I>>>><i> Booting with previous kernel = wifi works, booting with new kernel =
</I>>>><i> wifi does not work
</I>>>><i> (The chip is recognized and I see the available access points but no
</I>>>><i> connection possible)
</I>>>><i> See also <A HREF="https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=782">https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=782</A>

</I>>><i> I just tried it. After rebooting into Kernel-2.6.38.8 the applet is
</I>>><i> showing the status correct as online. Everything works.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> After rebooting into kernel-3.0.0 gain, the applet shows the status as
</I>>><i> inactive, but wlan works. Since someone mentioned something about
</I>>><i> suspend, I tried that as well. After resume, there is no change here.
</I>>><i> The applet shows inactive, but the wlan works.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Wow! I would not think of this! I did not try because the system tells
</I>><i> me that wifi does not work - one must either have a very sick mind or
</I>><i> be a Linux user to test it anyway! :)
</I>Your decision :D
To be honest, I wouldn't have tried as well, but I had pidgin opened
and somebody began to chat with me although the applet showed me, I'm
offline...
So I checked with ifconfig, after he convinced me, he was not some
ghost on my motherboard ;-)
So at least here it's only a problem with the applet, not with the wlan itself.
