Hi, I have installed with new version of kernel 5.8.1 and rebooted the computer. Now works fine, build correctly and wifi conection works. Very thanks and greetings!!
It would be nice if you could test the core/updates_testing build in Mageia 7 with the kernel 5.7.14 also in updates_testing to make sure it also works there.

I'm guessing the reporter no longer has a Mageia 7 install on the affected hardware to use for a test, as he has upgraded/updated to Cauldron. I also believe he is the only QA member with the affected hardware, making a separate Mageia 7 test unlikely. So what do we do under these conditions? We have a valid kernel 5.8.x test, but not one for 5.7.x.

Hello! Sorry I'm late, but I've been running some tests, and I'm commenting.. The new package works with the 5.7.14 kernel perfectly. The module has been compiled well for the kernel. On the other hand, the hardware I needed from this package is a Realtek TL-WN823N usb-wifi adapter. To make it work I indicate here the process in case we can add something in Mageia and make it easier to work: - Install the updated packages dmks-rtl8192 and rtlwifi-firmware. Reboot the system. - The system/kernel gets the rtl8xxxu driver which is not correct for this device. Then it has to be taken to blacklist... - Create a text file "realtek.conf" in the path /etc/modprobe.d. - Inside the file put "blacklist=rtl8xxxu" and restart the computer. After this, the system/kernel takes the correct driver rtl8192eu and the device works correctly with internet connection. These instructions apply to both kernel 5.7.14 and 5.8.1. So, We can close this bug fixed. I hope this helps. Greetings!
I would agree that there ought to be a way to streamline the installation, some way to make it more automatic. Newbies would find the above procedure daunting. However, I think that's a good subject for another bug. This bug was that the driver module didn't build, and the update fixes that. So, I'm going to give it an OK, and validate it.
