well s/drakconnect/anythink related to drakx if you want/

>this is the installer which installed my wifi adapter
what does that mean ? it was automatically installed or not ? (after the install)

if you fallow my first comment, it should works. So I don't see your bug. 
if it doesn't then there is one, and you will have to attach the output of lspcidrake -v.

conclusion : during mageia installation procedure a wlan0 connection is created.
the ralink driver is uncompletely installed.
Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-18 17:01:46 CET 
yes because your card needs a nonfree drivers which is not (yet in the iso), 
if you add online media and enable nonfree it should install the package automatically.

it's this way since a long time now.
