Ok, I did this now. iwl3945 is now only loaded manually by modprobe, and the initscript is disabled for wlan0. > After this follow the following steps (I am assuming you are not using > security): > $ /sbin/ip link set dev wlan0 up > $ iwlist wlan0 scan > Search for your AP in the above output - should match with your > wpa_supplicant conf file. > $ iwconfig wlan0 channel <channel of your AP> ap <MAC of your AP> essid > <essid of your AP> > $ iwconfig > check above output to see if you are associated > next use your usual net app to get an IP (dhclient?) > > Can you associate with the above steps? What do the logs look like? The dmesg output is here: https://www.cs.tcd.ie/~furlongm/iwlwifi/2.6.25-dmesg-wirelesstools-only iwconfig wlan0 said it was associated (connecting to the AP with no security now): wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"testing" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.417 GHz Access Point: 00:0F:CC:5E:86:00 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=15 dBm Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B Encryption key:off Link Quality=84/100 Signal level=-49 dBm Noise level=-88 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 but it never got an IP address, no matter what timeout I set for the dhcp client. iwlist wlan0 scan showed the AP a few times, but mostly found nothing at all. When it did find APs, it found at most 2-3 APs, whereas the ipw driver finds 10 or more APs on the same machine.
