I had been following with interest the thread by Jos (viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2409) but that seems to have fizzled out without a solution. I have a similar problem so I hope it is OK to start a new thread.
Having upgraded from Mageia 1 to 2 via the system tray pop-up, I found I had no wireless network connection. When I went to set one up in Network Center, it reported that the required package was unavailable. After re-enabling the non-free repository, Network Center installed the package (via eth0 ethernet), and then reported "Unable to find network interface on selected device (using wl driver)".
Here are the responses to various commands requested by Doktor5000 and others in the other thread. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks for reading.
