Re: Configuring an Intel 3945 wireless card: partial success

If I remember, you are using the ipw3945 module.  This is being
deprecated and replaced by iwl3945.  While the new one might not fix
your problem, it wouldn't hurt to try it.  In my case, ipw3945 did not
work but iwl3945 did.

Trouble is that the iwl3945 module is disabled in the distro kernel.
However, it is enabled in the centosplus kernel.  So, the quickest way
to test it is to install the cplus kernel.

I figured that out late that night (early that morning?). I installed the centosplus kernel, and then I had to find an iwl3945-firmware package, otherwise the driver wouldn't work. I put it in my own repo:

http://download.tuxfamily.org/centos/5/os/i386/RPMS/iwl3945-firmware-2.14.1.5-2.noarch.rpm

Suggestion: it would be a good idea to include this firmware package in the centosplus repo. This would spare some hassle.

Right now I'm running three different wireless cards on CentOS: Intel Pro 3945, Broadcom 4306 and Ralink 2561. Configuring each one of these reminded me of jumping through a series of burning loops.

Cheers!

Niki
