I cant seem to get my wifi working im my new notebook. Traurig
Wanted to use it for war driving but now I cant even get it (wireless) to work with easter-rc4.

Please advice.

hi Kelmo,
thanks for the quick reply. Is there a way that I can get it to work now? eg patch or something?

Thx!

Download and install one of the 2.6.17 kernels from the left and install the included ipw3945*.deb package (apt-get -f install afterwards, as there are additional packages needed) and pray. We don't have any ipw3945 wlan card available, so we can't test/ debug if the sysfs interaction between driver and regulatory domain dæmon is working correctly.

Got it working ... well at least I have the wifi LED blinking Smilie

But I am not too sure how to load it automatically.

The instructions says :

you typically place the following two lines into
your /etc/modprobe.conf or into a new file /etc/modules.d/ipw3945:

# echo install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 ; \
sleep 0.5 ; /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet >> /etc/modules.d/ipw3945

# echo remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill ; \
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945 >> /etc/modules.d/ipw3945


But the directories and files does not seem to exist in my updated installation. Appreciate your guidance. Thanks!

same problem: ipw3945 drivers working, but I have to load manually ipw3945d after each reboot... Traurig
