I can not get wifi to work. I have a Intel Mini PCI 3945abg card. I tried
#modprobe iwl3945and the drivr loads. But then when I want to
#netcfg "MyEssidi get this:
iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode firmware file req failed: -2
iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: -2
Could not read microcode: -2
Could not set interface 'wlan0' flags: No such file or directory
nl80211: Could not set interface 'wlan0' UPI searched all over google and arch forums but I didnt' find my answer.
I typed the output by hand cause I can not get my monitor to work either so I disabled udev. See my display topic here.

Are you sure disabling udev is the best thing to do? Per the wiki, udev automatically loads the driver.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … 000-series
On my computer using the same iwl3945 wireless card, all I had to do from the command line to make it work was:
wpa_passphrase NETWORKNAME "PASSWORD" > /etc/wifi.conf
ip link set wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wifi.conf -B
dhcpcd wlan0
This is for a WPA2 network so yours might be a little different. There was no special configuring after I got KDE installed - it just worked.

If I don't disable udev I can see anything on my monitor after boot. That's why it's disabled. See the topic about my display here..

It's been a month since I bought my new mini server components. I still don't have screen or wlan connection. I want to set at least wlan up. I don't really care about screen much. Can someone help me please? I don't know what to do.

Install linux-firmware:
pacman -S linux-firmwareReload the wireless module and you should be good to go

I allready tried that, but with no luck.

nl80211: Could not set interface 'wlan0' UPI think it can't find those files.

You can set your wireless name to wlan0 using udev rules, it's probably called eth1 now.

I think wlan0 is still wlan0 not eth1.
$ip linkgives me:
1: lo <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UPT> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

3: eth0 <BROADCAST, MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000$ip link set wlan0 upshows me:

I see two possibilities:
a) You have ipw3945 in the initramfs. Rebuild the initramfs without it.
b) You have a messed up system where /lib isn't a symlink to /usr/lib. So un-mess your system.

I have linux-lts kernel installed now. I don't get black screen now with udev enabled on this kernel.
If I disable udev I get the same error messages seen in my first post as on the newest kernel 3.5.4-1. But If I enable udev everything is fine. But I get different error now.
