Description of problem: I've 2 wifi devices, none is working. Both have open-source drivers. First, the wifi integrated in my laptop (HP dv7-3145ef - wifi BCM43225) is listed in my networks, but no "wlan0" on the right. And if I click on it, I've a pop-up saying (in french, as I am) "Impossible de trouver l'interface réseau pour le périphérique sélectionné (utilisation du pilote bcrm80211)." So I can't connect with it. Then I've a TP-Link TL-WN727N, when I connect it is listed in the networks, it has "wlan0" on the right, but it doesn't see anything, clicking "rafraichir" has no effect. I know this one works on Ubuntu, just have to blacklist some other drivers there to get it working, but I don't know how to blacklist drivers on Mageia (no /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf ?), so it may be this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Yeah! Thank-you for the tip! indeed the bcm43225 only needed kernel-firmware-extra to work. (Sorry to have reported a bug, I should have asked in the forum... You can close it, although I didn't re-test the TP-Link with added blacklist.conf, but it should work.)
