Thierry, Thomas, during classical installation wpa_supplicant was not installed, according to Alket. Could you have a look at the logs and see if there's a bug?

Hm,
thats probably because we didn't detect it properly:

unknown         : ATHEROS|USB2.0 WLAN [(Defined at Interface level)]


I wonder if we should start needed parts for wireless on all default installs regardless of detecting it's need during install or not ...

We get more and more use-cases that would need wireless support

Or we could like the harddrake GUI does and install the needed parts when description matches some keywords (eg: "WLAN")

Btw I've locally fixed this bogus commit:
http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/commit/perl-install/harddrake/data.pm?id=5debe867e12c9b062ee15fe59f09e8a7b34627b2


I'm curious: what does report lspcidrake -v|grep ATHEROS on the installed system?
The output might have missed the driver during installation time b/c we only have a subset of kernel modules at that stage.

Keywords: (none) => NEEDINFO

Yeah, but when people then have a system installed that did not have that hw available at install time, they may think "oh, I could plug a usb wifi" and oops :)

So we should somehow better support that case too :)

@ Alket

Can you please reply to that question: what do you see when entering (in a terminal or konsole):

  lspcidrake -v|grep ATHEROS

argh. Indeed.
Alket?

Hi,
I am very sorry for late reply, I reinstalled the system like 2 times up until now (for various reasons because of my experiments :p) also I got a direct cable.
I will try tonight to install in another disk and report back.

Thanks

I've altered rpmsrate so that we do pull the wireless packages even if we miss the actual driver in the installer (which would break the detection).
Supposed fixed.

Though ath9k_htc did got loaded so that would be the right driver and we included in the installer.
I don't understand why lspcidrake failed to list this driver during install...

Source RPM: (none) => ldetect, drakx-installer-stage2

Actually, I think it's because firmwares were not included and thus the driver eventually got unloaded:
usb 3-10: ath9k_htc: Firmware htc_9271.fw requested
usb 3-10: Direct firmware load for htc_9271.fw failed with error -2
usb 3-10: ath9k_htc: Failed to get firmware htc_9271.fw
usb 3-10: ath9k_htc: USB layer deinitialized

It would have worked if doing a network install with boot-nonfree.iso (which includes those firmwares)
