<PRE>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 :
<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.

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.
