Description Jérôme Hénin 2015-07-30 14:43:45 CEST 
Description of problem:

On my laptop (Asus UX303LN), the Mageia 5 installer does not detect the on-chip Intel wireless. However, upon reboot after installing, it works immediately with no further configuration.

Actually, as far as I can remember (about Mandrake 9.1), I have never seen a Mageia/Mandriva/Mandrake installer successfully start a wireless connection on a laptop. Back when ndiswrapper was the only solution, it was not unexpected, but now it's more surprising, especially given the perfect behavior on reboot.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Mageia 5 installer from USB drive, x86_64, UEFI mode.

How reproducible:

Everytime at install.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run installer from USB drive
2. At network configuration, select iwlwifi
3. Get a message that no interface is found


Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

A related question: can I test this issue without actually reinstalling? Thanks.

thanks for your report, Jérôme.

I don't know of a way to test without actually reinstalling.

I'll close this bug as a duplicate of the now more general bug 16172 about this issue
