Hi guys,
I have Toshiba a100-847 with Intel 3945ABG wifi device.
My wifi works just fine.
I have: 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xen kernel.
I installed:
1. ieee80211-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xen-1.2.15-14.fc6.at.i686.rpm
2. ipw3945d-1.7.22-4.at.i386.rpm
3. ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.18-1.2869.fc6xen-1.1.0-15.fc6.at.i686.rpm
4. ipw3945-ucode-1.13-2.at.noarch.rpm
5. I needed to copy the modules into a new updated Kernel (after system
update with yum).
After this:
1.modprobe ipw3945
2.ipw3945d
Now you should see after "ifconfig" a new device, probably "eth1".
I didn't succeeded to configure a wifi with "Control Center Manager",
but after using "iwconfig", it's working just fine.
So:
1. "iwlist scanning": will show you existing wifi networks.
2. "iwconfig eth1 essid Frick": Frick is my wifi network name
3. "iwconfig eth1 key 92b3-ff03-4c26-377d-53ab-a2a4-c4": It's my WAP key
Good luck,
Dan

Nil,
Yes I have also install the ipw3945-firmware package.
The NetworkManager gui looks the same as what system-config-network
launches and it also complains about no link after a short probe for
an ip address.

Try using NetworkManager.
You can activate it from GNOME menu System->Administration->Services,
find NetworkManager there, make sure you check it and activate the
service by clicking Start button.
The icons should appear in the notification area. Network Manager
automaticaly activates/deactivates network connections, so you don't
need to use system-config-network.
And I assume you have firmware installed for your wireless driver.

I am trying fedora core on a Toshiba Satellite (A105-S4334). I think I
have added support for the wireless hardware device (Intel 3945ABG),
because it is recognized by iwconfig and scanning with iwlist locates
multiple cells, however trying to activate it claims there is no link
present and to check the cable. Am I missing something that must be
manually configured (outside of the system-config-network gui)?
I am pretty certain the activate worked one time, so I restarted the
system to see if it would come up during start up and I have not been
able to reconnect.
Thanks,
