Dear all,
I have an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 card installed on my laptop
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
Network Connection (rev 02)
I am running Debian Lenny (kernel 2.6.24-1). I tried to use the iwlwifi
modules that came with the kernel without success. I downloaded and
compiled compat-wireless-2008-06-04 modules. After make install and
make load, I kept receiving the following messages on syslog
Jun 4 15:43:32 cesar kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI
17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
Jun 4 15:43:32 cesar kernel: iwl3945: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch
Jun 4 15:43:34 cesar NetworkManager: <WARN>
nm_device_802_11_wireless_scan(): (wlan0): could not trigger wireless
scan: Network is down
I tried to enable the wireless card with Fn-F2, but the wireless led
only blinks once, and nothing else seems to happen.
This is the full report after I modprobe iwl3945
