Oi, it is me again ...
I have a problem when trying to connect to my wireless router using WPA. The wireless works as long as I leave WPA of, and when I try the same configuration with WPA on an other notebook it does work. I have loaded ipw3945 and started ipw3945d. Without WPA the following woks correct:
iwconfig eth1 essid network
but when I try the following with WPA I can't connect:
iwconfig eth1 essid yyy mode managed key restricted s:xxx
here is some more info:
whome (network profile)

# Wireless Settings (optional)

WIFI_INTERFACE=eth1 # use this if you have a special wireless interface
# that is linked to the real $INTERFACE
WIFI_WAIT=5 # seconds to wait for the wireless card to
# associate before bringing the interface up
USEWPA="yes" # start wpa_supplicant with the profile
WPAOPTS="-D wext" # use "" for normal operation or specify additional
# options (eg, "-D ipw")
# see /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf for configuration

PASSKEY="xxx" # wpa passkey/phrase. for use with AUTOWPA
wpa_suppificant

eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="yyy"
psk="xxx"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
}
dmesg tells the following about eth1:
eth1: link is not ready
Can someone help me with this problem, it is all very confusing trying to find a way through all the different tools and configuration files...

I have the same card.
installed knetworkmanager (I am using kde) and provided required wpa information at first start and it works.
