Hello
I have installed mageia 2 from dual arch CD on my laptop. But I have problems. One of them is that my wireless card doesn't wnk 1000 BGNork. My laptop is Lenovo Thinkpad and my wireless card is Intel (R) WiFi Link BGN. Please help me. I tried to download from intellinuxwifi, but it isn't work.
thanks

Could you please rephrase that, i didn't understand what you mean by that.
Anyways, please first check https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_management and https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Setup_wireless_networking
You need to set up/enable nonfree release and nonfree updates repos.

For clarification you may also want to take a look at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_2_Err ... s_firmware

FWIW, you don't need to download drivers/firmware directly at sites like http://intellinuxwireless.org/ all the common drivers and firmware are packaged and integrated with the Mageia tools, so if you have the proper repositories enabled, drivers and firmware will be automativcally installed.

Hello doktor5000
Ok. My phrasing go wrong, because of my laptop touchpad. The right phrase is:

I have successfully installed Cauldron on a laptop w/the same WIFI card. You don't need anything that's not provided in Mageia's media. (As doctor5000 said)

#1 - Make sure you have dkms, kmod and other basic required pkgs from the main media source.

#2- Install kernel-firmware-nonfree from Mageia's Non-Free Media Source. Not sure if this is required but it certainly couldn't hurt.

#3- The driver for that particular Intel card can be obtained from Mageia's non-free media as well, it's iwlwifi-agn-ucode.
