I know M2 is not receiving updates, but M2 fits this old Netbook. Once I've used it as a toy while I'm in hospital, I want to use it as a client Wirelessly connected to my home LAN. The problem is M2 wont find the Adapter after connecting wirelessly for ages. Mageia definitely supports the the kit

It would help if you could tell at least which wireless adapter you're using.
Also helpful: Which media did you use to install Mageia, and which desktop environment are you using? Do you use net_applet or NetworkManager?
And please provide the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all: lspcidrake -v | grep -i net ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -ie net -e wpa

and, as root:

Code: Select all: journalctl -b -u network --no-pager -a systemctl status network.service -a journalctl -b | grep -i firmware

Sorry, but with all the requested information missing, can't help you further. Good luck.
