Sorry, I forgot to mention that I checked for this and NetworkManager

"Configuring wireless regulatory domain [OK ]
That line wouldn't be in syslog. It's part of the initialization log
that appears on tty1 and in /var/log/prcsys. What you want to check
is /var/log/syslog once you have command-line access. Assuming your
wired connection is eth0, a search on "eth0" should find the entries
of interest. If you don't find any, then the interface either isn't
configured or isn't configured to start at boot.
If the interface doesn't show up in "ifconfig", then it was never
configured. In any case, running drakconnect from the command line
will define it; if it's already there, then it will show you the
current settings.
Ah, Mageia actually has a log file named syslog. OK, here's a grep of eth0:

Also, I was able to install the kernel firmware package off a USB drive,
but it didn't change anything that I can tell. Is there something I need
to do to configure the system to use it?
