Hello. I'm using an HP 6510b and I have IPW3945 installed (correctly, it seems), but there seems to be just one (very annoying problem) with it. For some reason, after about one or two hours of work the network extension gets undetected. This is the output from dmesg:
ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.2d
ipw3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
ipw3945: Detected geography ABG (13 802.11bg channels, 23 802.11a channels)
ipw3945: Error sending cmd #07 to daemon: time out after 500ms.
ipw3945: Error sending SCAN_ABORT_CMD: time out after 500ms.
ipw3945: Error sending cmd #08 to daemon: time out after 500ms.
ipw3945: Error sending ADD_STA: time out after 500ms.
ipw3945: Error sending SCAN_ABORT_CMD: time out after 500ms.
Then iwconfig tells me that neither lo, nor eth0, nor eth1 (my wireless card) has no wireless extension. I'm not sure whether it's after some certain amount of time that this happens, but it happens everytime and the only way to fix it seems to be a reboot. Below are the relevant parts of my /etc/rc.conf file. Any help is highly appreciated!
