I just happened to do a fresh install of Beta3. To verify, I terminated 
step by step along the sequence suggested (Broadcom 43228, Dell Latitude 
E6530). Configuring the interface with drakconnect gets quite a way - 
sees the SSID, at the end asks whether I want to connect now - but 
finally fails to create the connection - see also 
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7828

I suggest to include the evidence from bugzilla 7828 when dealing with 
bugzilla 6111
