This looks like the same chip series that I mentioned in my post a few 
days ago. As far as I know the firmware packages for that chip have 
never been installed by default. You can work around this by going to 
the Mageia Control Center software installation and search for 'b43'. 
Install the 3 packages that are appropriate for your hardware. Do a hard 
reboot. Go back to MCC and you should be able to install the firmware 
and drivers you need.
