-Hi DP,

-No expert here, but high interest in Wireless and Kernel issues - so -
-internet researcher for you.  I hope this is helpful!

Thanks for your efforts, but I haven't made any progress.  I don't
understand some of the suggested reading!
I have tried earlier, and later ieee80211 versions, but nothing changes.
I have tried both ipw3945-1.0.0 and ipw3945-1-1-0.
As I also use "remove-old" during this time, I have to keep
re-installing the kernel. Not all convenient when I can't use the
wireless interface!
	Now I have tried installing from RPMs. This only succeeded in producing
a "spin"error on logon.
Am I supposed to  use a ipw3945-kmod or is this just another name for
the driver?
