hello, greetings from the USA... i just installed mageia 3 (kde cd iso) today, straight install, 100% mageia system with no other operating systems on any partitions. thankfully it's picking up my internet connection via hard wire, but i am having difficulties with wireless. could someone show me how to get it to work? i have a very old laptop, dell inspiron 1501. networking device is dell wireless 1390 WLAN mini-card. also broadcom 440x 10/100 integrated controller and conexant HDA D110 MDC V.92 modem. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please open MCC -> Hardware -> Browse and configure hardware - does it want to install any broadcom related packages? If it does then please do so and try to configure your wireless connection again.

If it doesn't then please copy the output of this command:
Code: Select all
lspcidrake | grep -i net

Please always with -v to see the exact vendor/product id, can be necessary with some chipsets ;)
