Comment 3 episteme promeneur 2012-11-17 16:05:13 CET

to install mageia 3 a 3
i used iso dvd

this is the installer which installed my wifi adapter

i didn't use drakconnect.

Comment 4 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-18 00:07:45 CET

well s/drakconnect/anythink related to drakx if you want/

>this is the installer which installed my wifi adapter
what does that mean ? it was automatically installed or not ? (after the install)

if you fallow my first comment, it should works. So I don't see your bug. 
if it doesn't then there is one, and you will have to attach the output of lspcidrake -v.

you see a wlan0 connexion was created during installation procedure
but no wifi network is displayed in the list
then
as root with lsmod you see all modules of the driver for the wifi adapter are
there and loaded
then
install the packet for installing the ralink firmware

ralink-firmware-20121030-1.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm

then
now you see all the wifi networks in the neighborhood

conclusion : during mageia installation procedure a wlan0 connection is created.
the ralink driver is uncompletely installed.

Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-18 17:01:46 CET

yes because your card needs a nonfree drivers which is not (yet in the iso), 
if you add online media and enable nonfree it should install the package automatically.

it's this way since a long time now.
