Mageia 6, x86_64

Installed this package on a couple of wired workstations.

Installed the update on a workstation with a wifi only connection and three laptops.  No problems except with the Lenovo Ideapad Y500 and that may be because it had not been used for a while and needed over 100 scheduled updates.

After rebooting wifi refused to come up and 'rfkill list' showed that the wireless LAN was Soft blocked.
Cured that with
# rfkill unblock 2
and wifi came up immediately.

Hardware:
Atheros AR9285
Intel Wireless 7265
Atheros QCA 6174
Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230

CC: (none) => tarazed25

Comment 3 Len Lawrence 2018-09-12 18:31:58 CEST

The domain for the installations in comment #2 is GB.

Comment 4 Len Lawrence 2018-09-12 18:39:21 CEST

Darn - forgot the router:
ASUS RT-AC66U
2.4 GHz connections except Intel7265 on 5G.

MGA6-32 MATE on IBM Thinkpad R50e
No installation issues.
Laptop has cable connection, inserted USB Ralink wireless adapter, let MCC install it, disabled Ethernet connection, unplugged the cable, configured the wireless connection. All works OK.

As far as I am concerned this package is OK but by its nature the update could do with wider testing over a number of regulatory zones.

Comment 7 Thomas Andrews 2018-09-27 14:20:28 CEST

Tried this on my HP Probook 6550b, Intel wifi, even though USA is not on the list in the advisory. After a reboot, using the Probook now to report this.

Looks good here for 64-bit.
