Description of problem: After a 64-bit install from the April 21 Dual-DVD, the Braodcom BCM4318-based wifi card is not functional. This chip uses the b43 driver in 32-bit installs. With a 64-bit install from the April 21 DualDVD, which includes nonfree firmware, while the nonfree b43 firmware is installed, and lsmod indicates the b43 driver module has been loaded, the wlan0 option is not presented for configuration, as it is with 32-bit installs. None of the other options work. April 21 builds of the Classical i586 DVD and i586 KDE LiveDVD both configure and connect via wlan0 easily. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

Are you sure its b43 on the i586 installs ? Since it's BCM4318, it's also covered by the wl driver which is missing from dual... and "wlan0" usually points to wl as the others usually get the new names and we seem to miss a couple of broadcom configs from core too Ennael, theese should also be on dual: in core (both i586 & x86_64): # du -sh broadcom-* 12K broadcom-bcma-config-1-6.mga5.noarch.rpm 12K broadcom-ssb-config-1-6.mga5.noarch.rpm in nonfree: 12K broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.248-2.mga5.nonfree.i586.rpm 1.4M broadcom-wl-kernel-3.19.4-desktop586-2.mga5-6.30.223.248-24.mga5.nonfree.i586.rpm 24K broadcom-wl-kernel-desktop586-latest-6.30.223.248-24.mga5.nonfree.i586.rpm in nonfree x86_64: 12K broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.248-2.mga5.nonfree.x86_64.rpm 1.4M broadcom-wl-kernel-3.19.4-desktop-2.mga5-6.30.223.248-24.mga5.nonfree.x86_64.rpm 24K broadcom-wl-kernel-desktop-latest-6.30.223.248-24.mga5.nonfree.x86_64.rpm

Oh, and one more spotted by MrsB on qa ml in core: 24K b43-openfwwf-5.2-6.mga5.noarch.rpm
In the process of testing other RC isos, I had replaced the DualDVD install with one from the Classical i586 DVD. I checked installed packages, and the i586 installs must be using b43-openfwwf. The wl driver is NOT installed. Kernel-firmware-nonfree was originally installed, but after removing it, powering down, and rebooting, wifi still works. I'd say that if b43-openfwwf isn't on the DualDVD, that's what's needed.
Yep, as noted in comment 3
