It's not good for it. 3) I select WiFI. The computer say that's it need the driver dkms-broadcom-wl and it can't it found. (In french, the computer say : Certains paquetages (broadcom-wl) sont nécessaires mais ne sont pas disponibles. Ces paquetages sont disponibles dans Mageia, ou dans le dépôt officiel de paquetages non-free.

I don't know why, but I see that I have used the kernel 4.8.8 and the 4.8.12 is installed. I try to use the last installed. It's don't works... I don't know what I have do, but now, I use the kernel 4.6.3 and the wi-fi work...
is matching kernel-desktop-devel installed ? what is the output of: dkms status
I have a similar issue on a MacBookPro11,1 - kernel 4.7.6 with broadcom-wl on dkms works fine. None of the 4.8.(1-12) kernels will even finish booting with broadcom-wl in dkms. I'll grad some more data and post it later.

Thanks Thomas - sorry for posting the extra stuff - missed your post.
Thanks again Thomas - I manually applied the patch from broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-45, rebuild with DKMS and all is now working on 4.8.12-3.
Where can I find the path to manually applied it ? Now, it's not good :( kernel-desktop-devel-latest is installed and I use 4.8.12-desktop-3.mga6 [root@localhost ~]# dkms status broadcom-wl, 6.30.223.271-45.mga6.nonfree: added [root@localhost ~]# mcc [...] Subroutine Gtk3::main redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.22.2/Gtk3.pm line 525. modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/4.8.12-desktop-3.mga6 modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/4.8.12-desktop-3.mga6 getting exclusive lock on rpm getting lock on urpmi

Something is messed up in your system Try a clean install of broadcom-wl by manually download: http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/media/nonfree/release/broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-45.mga6.nonfree.x86_64.rpm http://mirrors.kernel.org/mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/media/nonfree/release/dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-45.mga6.nonfree.x86_64.rpm then urpme broadcom-wl-common dkms-broadcom-wl Then reinstall the 2 rpms you manually downloaded: urpmi broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-45.mga6.nonfree.x86_64.rpm dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-45.mga6.nonfree.x86_64.rpm and post the logs of the install, and if it complains the build failed, please attach the referenced make.log

After this it's good : 179 urpme broadcom-wl-common dkms-broadcom-wl 180 urpmi broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-45.mga6.nonfree.x86_64.rpm dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-45.mga6.nonfree.x86_64.rpm
Great, closing as fixed then
