Is there a build log?
-wild guess it is at /var/lib/dkms/<broadcom-wl>/<version>.mga10.nonfree/build/make.log ?

Try with 6.30.223.271-689.mga10.nonfree (but consider this driver unsafe for security POV, see https://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/broadcom-wl/current/SOURCES/broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-kernel-6.15.patch?view=markup) so to add a note somewhere.

My Wi-Fi card seems to be working, but I have a conflict issue on GNOME because I cannot see any networks.
The networks appear when launching draknetcenter but I can't connect it.

I have corrected the network connection with Draknetcenter if I disconnect my network cable. However, NetworkManager does not detect anything.

@Giuseppe: so this package also need to be updated in mga9 for backport 6.18?

> @Giuseppe: so this package also need to be updated in mga9 for backport 6.18?

Yes, to get the module compiling under the newer kernels. But immediate previous version was working with previous kernels (e.g. 6.12.63-1.mga10 or 6.6.100 lts just to cite a few)?

Test Wi-Fi with new Kernel:

kernel-desktop-6.18.6-1.mga10

Wi-Fi car is Ok but I always can't see any networks.
The networks appear when launching Draknetcenter but I can't connect it.
I can connect Wi-Fi with Draknetcenter when Ethernet is unplugged. 

Before with MGA9, I could connect to Ethernet and the Wi-Fi Network Manager had no issues.

I don't understand why NM isn't working properly and I can't see the networks, and why I have to open Draknetcenter and connect the Ethernet to get Wi-Fi visible with Network Manager?

Should I open a new bug report for this issue?

@Guillaume, can you install kernel 6.12.63 and the corresponding devel, and see if that works better?

And if that fail, try 6.6.100.

I guess the NM problems may appear because wifi is only partially working.
Lets see if NM works when we know wifi itself works.

This does not work with previous kernels:

6.12.63-1.mga10 and 6.6.100.

So in the end no combination of kernel and dkms-broacom-wl has ever worked in cauldron? or the previous version with previous (6.12.63) kernel did?

Regarding building the driver with the kernel, it works. Even with kernel 6.12.
Another thing, to answer questions about my Bluetooth bug report, I installed Plasma.
So I installed the NM applet and the problem persists. So it's not a DE problem but a NetworkManager problem.

However, I cannot say whether it is specific to my hardware or not.

Now I see we have this old bug:

Bug 33821 - Network Manager applets do not connect to a broadcom-wl device at boot. Works OK with bcma driver

There might already be one, bug 33821 for Mageia 9. Same symptoms as you describe.

Try running Network Center. For me, that initializes the wifi chip in some way that Network Manager fails to do. All I have to do is run it, and when the Network Center screen pops up, Network Manager makes the connection. After that, the wifi works fine until the next session.

On my hardware, switching to the bcma driver avoids the issue, but my chip is a Broadcom BCM43224, different from yours, so I can't be certain that would work for you.

I hadn't seen this bug report, but it's definitely the same problem. The BCMA driver doesn't improve anything; in fact, it makes things worse. I can no longer connect with our tool.
Which report should I continue to use? 
34975 or 33821.

The Network Center has its own trouble with the bcma driver. Do not try connecting with the driver identified as the Broadcom driver, use the other one. It'll be wlp-something.

There's a bug on that one, too. See bug 31473. It is believed that one is a bug in the Network Center.

We've brought up several issues here, and I doubt they will all be solved at the same bug. First things first - the wl driver must build with the 6.18 series kernel. I've set the affects mga9 flag, as MGA9 has a 6.18 kernel available in backports.

I'll use comment 13 as justification for making bug 33821 into a Cauldron bug, with MGA9,also affected.

Flags: (none) => affects_mga9+

Added this bug to https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Kernel_flavours#Backport_incompatibilities
- remove when solved!

Pondering doing the same for Errata10 so current testers find it easily.

Flags: (none) => in_errata10?

mga10 do since a while no more have kernel < 6.18

Flags: in_errata10? => (none)

Hi,

It took me a while to get around to testing it, but I installed BETA1 using a Gnome Live ISO, which I updated today.
I was able to install the driver and reboot with Wi-Fi working right away, set up directly by Network Manager.

Thank you for the test.

Marking as solved then :-)

Updated: problem valid for kernel 6.12 in backport testing, OK with released backport 6.18.

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
