hi,

i installed ipw3945 according to Arch wiki, but when i want to load it, it writes:

modprobe ipw3945  -> FATAL: Module ipw3945 not found.
and
/etc/rc.d/ipw3945d start -> ERROR: Could not find Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

Re: ipw3945 problem

You should do a full system update, otherwise it won't work.

Re: ipw3945 problem

The kernel cant find the module because it is installed for 2.6.21-ARCH and you are booting 2.6.20-ARCH.
