If you build it against the latest stack (1.2.15), everything works quite well. It would be real nice if Intel would get rid of the ipw3945d daemon - which apparently they are in the process of doing - just to make it so I don't have to have any hack-arounds for it.
How much difference did it make? I ended up turning off WPA on my wireless router because the router would freeze every few hours. The only problem I noticed on the laptop side is that it takes a long time to acquire a network address using DHCP, and sometimes I have to tell NetworkManager to reconnect several times. This is using freshrpms' ipw3945, which has a small patch that (as I understand it) sets the API version to 1.1.13 instead of 1.1.14 Regards, -- Michel Salim http://hircus.wordpress.com/ My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed. -- Christopher Morley -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
