Comment 1 Thomas Andrews 2016-09-26 03:06:13 CEST 
I had already installed these when testing kernel 4.4.21-2. Still working on my HP laptop with kernel 4.4.22-1.

On Mageia 5 x64 real hardware with Radeon graphics
Kernel 4.4.22-desktop-1.mga5

I already had
 radeon-firmware-20160920-1.mga5.nonfree
pulled in (I think) by the update to kernel 4.4.22. For me, that part is OK.

For 'kernel-firmware-nonfree', I do not have it, despite my system being 'nonfree' from the start. Trying to install it:
 # urpmi kernel-firmware-nonfree
Rhaid i'r pecynnau canlynol gael eu tynnu i eraill gael eu diweddaru.
kernel-desktop-4.4.22-1.mga5-1-1.mga5.x86_64
 (oherwydd gwrthdaro gyda kernel-firmware-nonfree[< 20160914-1])
which says it wanted to *remove* the latest kernel because of a conflict with kernel-firmware-nonfree[< 20160914-1] . I back off.

You need to enable nonfree/updates/testing for urpmi to find the correct version.
