[SOLVED] New to Mageia - Need Broadcom wifi help please

[lend27]

I finished the install and have internet via ethernet.
I am trying to configure my Broadcom wifi BCM4360.
Mageia find the card, it shows when I click on the network icon in system tray but it shows no device name.
When I click on it , it shows an error message ( Unable to find network interface for selected device. Using BCMA driver).

What are the steps to enable the wifi device?

Thanks!

I'm all set, thanks for your help.
I figured it out, I need to install "dkms-broadcom-wl".
Installed that in software center, rebooted, and all my networks show, and I connected successfully.
Cool!
Thanks!
