[SOLVED] M3B2: Wifi connects but can't access Internet

I'm testing Mageia 3 Beta 2 on a Lenovo T420 notebook.

Installation went fine, but I can't connect to the Internet. I am able to associate my wireless access point via the Network Center.

I get normal output for my wifi adapter (wlan0) from iwconfig, but I can't ping any Internet addresses and nothing comes up in my browser.

Any ideas? I haven't tried an ethernet connection yet, as it's locked up in an office (after hours).

Thanks.

Update: ethernet connection works fine, but wifi still doesn't.

Wifi adapter connects fine (i.e., associates correctly with wifi access point), but Internet isn't accessible.

Got it fixed. It turns out that the iwlwifi-4965-ucode-228.61.2.24-6.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm package wasn't actually installed.
