<!--beginarticle-->
<PRE>Have just installed (32-bit) Mageia-3 Beta2 on my Samsung NC110 netbook.
Went into 'MCC/Network/Define new network' and selected WiFi.
It correctly showed 'Broadcom BCM43225', but then DrakConnect gave me:
"Unable to find network interface for selected device (using wl driver)"
So looked in Network Center, and found TWO entries for WiFi:
(1) "Broadcom BCM43225..." with no SSID's showing.
If I hit Refresh I get:
"Unable to find network... (as above)"
(2) "Eth1" showing all local SSID's, and - when I select mine - it connects
and works!
(Also, on rebooting, that SSID is connected automatically at boot.)
So, yes, Beta2 is successful with Broadcom BCM43225 WiFi,but seemingly without
needing me to use DrakConnect!
