This thread with the title "Broadcom wireless" is in the same section of the forum as your question post, just 4 or 5 topics below.

Not quite the way to make yourself known, but there's a reason to everything.

Nevertheless, a very warm welcome to the Mageia-forum gosh6o!!!!!!

Always look at the bright side of life!!!

I strongly disagree.
Let's say I start this thread "How to defuse a bomb?" like this:


Help guys, I have this bomb in front of me

Which wire should I cut, the red one or the yellow one?



Bump...



Bump...



Bump...



Nevermind...

Ask me dubigrasu, i am color-blind!!!

Oh, great Isadora, but what do you.....ah, CRA...

Let's put the somewhat exciting but nevertheless off-topic idea of defusing a bomb aside for a moment: you're kidding with you disagreement, right?

@dubigrasu: You should never ask someone like McGyver about defusing a bomb, when you can be helped by a genius like McGruber

ok but will my BCM4312 run out-of-the-box??? I like mageia more than mandriva because i have video problems and after the install my touchpad is not working in 2010!

Seems not. But this is a minutes work:

I guess you can try the live CD first, but it is possible that your BCM4312 works with Mageia DVD (which contains more stuff) and not with Mageia LiveCD.

I will try it! The livecd is not working with it! But when i installed mageia on my usb with unetbooting i get kernel panic when i start it! I will burn a dvd

Do not use unetbootin on Mageia ISOs! They are "hybrid" already, so you can use "dd" to put them on a stick:

Code: Select all

# dd if=<path_and_name_of_the_ISO> of=/dev/sdx

where "sdx" is the device name of your USB stick.
So, if ~/Downloads/mageia-1-dvd.iso is my downlaoded ISO file and /dev/sdc is my USB stick, the command is

Code: Select all

#dd if=~/Downloads/mageia-1-dvd.iso of=/dev/sdc

Not in Mageia 1. You need to install dkms-broadcom-wl from the repos.
