Ok - my mistake. I was a bit thrown by the name change from "iwlwifi" in
test4's kernel to "iwl3945" in rawhide's combined with the change from not
working at all to sort-of-working in an unstable way. :)
Slightly connected with this - is
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 still considered the correct
place for network configuration? If I set up my iwl3945 through the GUI
configurator it doesn't appear to store the ESSID or WEP key in that file
(and won't associate with the access point when I ifup the interface).
Setting the configuration manually in the ifcfg-wlan0 file seems to work,
except booting with the wifi kill-switch on (so the wlan0 NIC never
appears) results in the ifcfg-wlan0 file being *removed* automagically on
boot. (!) Removing configuration seems quite wrong and is a problem
for me since my notebook appears to always power up with the wifi disabled
unless I push the button during boot (I've not yet figured out if there's
a way I can force it to always come up with it enabled...)
I will do some more debugging this evening to see what's going on - it
could just be me being stupid of course. :)
