Hi

Do you have a wired cable? Open MCC centre then select Network & Internet, then setup a network interface. select wireless then your adaptor,

[spiky001]

As you go through the setup pges you will get to a page "Connection control" make sure you select "allow interface to be controlled by network manager" 4th radio button down

This is two reports on distrowatch downloads in a very short interval, both regarding Mageia 3 Live. This is getting more suspicious. These things always make me nervous. I always worry that one of these websites could have been hacked or something and not be linking to the ftp site they appear to be linking to. - George

In the configuration hardware it detect my wifi bcm43228 but it ask me to use ndiswraper, wich I don't have, with ubuntu it was installed automaticly

[spiky001]

I selected the driver for the interface not the ndiswrapper, dose it give you the option?

[granul]

I finaly manage to connect I install broadcom-wl-common and reboot and it is working. So should I make this SOLVED

[spiky001]

yes

Very short review of the Mageia 3 Christmas Edition gives my mixed impression:

1. 64-Bit LiveKDE (desktop with cable network interface, nvidia)
Everything works, I did not expect any problems anyway because a) it's a plain vanilla system from hardware side and b) it's a final where I do not expect issues with such hardware. No disappointment here, good job!

2. 32-bit LiveKDE (netbook with Broadcom 4312 wifi, intel graphics)
As usual with the previous releases splash screen does not work (minor issue). The bad point: Also as expected, wifi is not available. Using MCC -> new connection -> wifi, system does not even show the device, only points at ndiswrapper. I guess I would have to do a harddisk install and use a network cable to download the necessary driver. Result: situation is the same as in previous years, system is not usable in live mode.

Hi

You would like to think that as a live cd it would all work so as to incourage users
