Welcome and I hope you enjoy your Mageia experience. I see there is a Bug outstanding asking for RT5390 support You might like to add your support to this request so it gets some attention in Mageia 2. But RT5390 is nor currently supported in Mageia 1 or Cauldron (the development branch) Normally all you have to do is connect via Ethernet, set up software repositories, and then run the new wireless device wizard in Mageia Control Centre.


Mageia is normally pretty good with wireless drivers. Installing dkms would have pulled in the package automatically which is why you did not need to specify it. Kernel-netbook-devel-latest (assuming you are running the netbook kernel variant). To install multiple packages at once just list them on the same lineĬode: Select all urpmi dkms fakeroot make gcc-c++Īs it happens you did not need to install dkms and fakeroot packages anyway but you did need I am blown away with Mageia so far though. Im not sure if you can connect packages into one command and if you can how to do it)Ĭd angepasster-2011_0406_RT5390_RT5392_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPOĬlick networking icon at top and it should work! (sorry about seperate commands, Ive been using Mageia for 15 minutes. I figured out how to do it! Here is the solution


Sudo apt-get install -reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential dkms patch fakeroot unzip Here is the commands I would type in Debian to get my wireless card working so maybe someone could translate them to Mageia commands for me? But have years of experience with Linux in general. Im new here and I need help with my wireless drivers.
