im new to the forum and just installed mageia 6 rc on my old dell inspiron 1545. i cant seem to get the wifi card working and im having to use a wifi dongle which is annoying as it sticks out the side of the laptop and i keep knocking it etc.
the internal card says its a broadcom bcm4312-802.11b/g lp-phy
any help appreciated

Hello and welcome,
Check first that the packages dkms-broadcom-wl, kernel-firmware and kernel-firmware-nonfree are installed
Then what does this command answer (with root rights):
- Code: Select all
#rfkill list all

Mageia Control Center/Software management/Install and Remove Software, enter the package name in the find box and press Enter. If the box before the package name is checked, that means it is installed.

Well, you're currently using the Ralink wireless card, so the Broadcom one isn't used at all and may not be configured. Please try again with only the Broadcom card.
