I am testing out Mageia 5.1 <Mageia-5.1-LiveDVD-GNOME-x86_64-DVD> ISO as a local install on a 50 GB EXT4 SATA partition with a separate 6GB swap..
I have a TP-LINK TL-WN823N wifi adapter based on the Realtek RTL8192EU chipset..
Finally I was able to 'make && make install' the Mange repo on Github but only after installing the following dependencies:
- gcc-4.9.2-4.1.mga5.x86_64
gcc-cpp-4.9.2-4.1.mga5.x86_64
glibc-devel-2.20-23.mga5.x86_64
kernel-desktop-devel-4.4.30-2.mga5-1-1.mga5.x86_64
kernel-desktop-devel-latest-4.4.30-2.mga5.x86_64
kernel-userspace-headers-4.4.30-2.mga5.x86_64
lib64mpc3-1.0.2-4.mga5.x86_64
lib64ncurses-devel-5.9-21.mga5.x86_64
libstdc++-devel-4.9.2-4.1.mga5.x86_64
make-4.0-6.mga5.x86_64'
The funny thing is 802.11 NIC is listed as a scanner in Mageia Control Center -- Hardware configuration tool..
Some logs you might need for a diagnosis:
