Just like to say for record with the official Mandriva One Spring ive had no trouble with my broadcom wireless card on laptop. smile.gif

Not here. The broadcom bcmxx driver hasn't worked with my card on any distro I've tried; I always wind up going with ndiswrapper which works fine. I've come to hate that driver.
