And my kernel is 2.6.26-ARCH, so i think > is a kernel26, <2.6.27, right? Yes your kernel 2.6.26 is <2.6.27. However the 2.6.27 kernel you are trying to upgrade to isn't. As announced in the frontpage news http://www.archlinux.org/news/414/ : > - The ipw3945 driver doesn't compile anymore. It's probably easy to patch, but we'll stop maintaining it anyway. Please use iwl3945 or compile the driver yourself (the latest PKGBUILD and patches can be found at http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/ipw3945/trunk/) Switching to iwl3945 is probably the easier solution. Make sure you download the firmware: pacman -S iwl-3945-ucode
