iwl3945 and kernel 2.6.30

After installing the new kernel 2.6.30, my iwl3945 wifi module wouldn't load properly. A message in dmesg said that there was an unrecognized iwl3945 parameter "hwcrypto=1".

I had to edit /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945 so that it looked like this:

alias wlan0 iwl3945
options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1

instead of this

alias wlan0 iwl3945
options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1 hwcrypto=1

Now everything seems to work swimmingly.

hm, it works for me without that change, but i get random disconnects and have to reload the module to get a connection again.
anyone else experiencing this?

yes with
testing/kernel26 2.6.30-4,
testing/kernel26-firmware 2.6.30-1 and
core/iwlwifi-3945-ucode 15.32.2.9-1
this has happened a few times. Can be after the first few minutes or after a very long time (hours). It's hard to repoduce. I use wicd. I have a Netgear router.

Re: iwl3945 and kernel 2.6.30

ok, snoops, i had this exact thing happen to me this week.  i hadn't rebooted in about a month or something, so it just became an issue when i rebooted today.  i can't get associated with the wifi at the university anymore.  dmesg tells me that i am authenticating with my AP, but the association is timing out.

any ideas?
