wl driver is a nonfree one and we (currently) don't add these one in the dvd.

so does drakconnect install any wl package if you add the online repo and enable the nonfree repo ?

Comment 5 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-16 10:57:24 CET 
use the boot.iso nonfree and boot to the dvd ? or use the live

iirc a dev is making a solution a solution for adding nonfree in the dvd.

This bug is for the livedvd Manuel, nonfree drivers should be on there. 

Arnaud, can you please confirm whether you were using the livedvd or installer dvd when you tested alpha 3. If livedvd, please reopen again.

Thanks
