<!--beginarticle-->
<PRE>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?
