This isn't urgent since I don't use the laptop very often. I was testing the Mageia 8 install (at last, too busy with work for the last few months) before I finally install Mageia 8 on my main home system, which has permanent ethernet so wi-fi is less important. But I hope to fix this before I next need to take the laptop away from its cable connection to the home router.
Here's the information the Doktor asks for. I use KDE with net_applet.

and then there's a lot more about enp0s20u1u1i5, I can send the output as a text file if it's relevant.
What I've tried so far...
kernel-firmware-nonfree is installed.
- Code: Select all
# rpm -qa | grep broadcom
dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-61.mga8.nonfree
broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-61.mga8.nonfree
These software packages have worked on previous releases. The alternative is broadcom-bcma-config, which removes
broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-61.mga8.nonfree.x86_64
(due to conflicts with broadcom-bcma-config)
dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-61.mga8.nonfree.x86_64
(due to missing broadcom-wl-common)
Hardware detection now shows BCM4352, module bcma -- so at least wi-fi is listed in 'Set up a new network interface' for wireless:
choose Broadcom...BCM4352 80211ac :
Unable to find network interface for selected device (using bcma driver).
Use a Windows driver (with ndiswrapper):
use bcmwl46 (from the Windows install -- the XPS dual-boots Windows)
Unable to find the ndiswrapper interface.
Back to dkms-broadcom-wl; remove broadcom-bcma-config.
- broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-61.mga8.nonfree.x86_64 [installed in Mga7]
- dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-61.mga8.nonfree.x86_64
In hardware detection, back to Module unknown
In wireless setup, ndiswrapper is the only choice; same failure.
I have restarted with some modules blacklisted:
echo -e "blacklist b43\nblacklist bcma\nblacklist ssb\n" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mga.conf
Same problems, with and without the blacklist.
Thank you for reading, and greetings from the other side of the world, in spring
