iwl3945 and Core Dump

Hi,

Had some problems connecting to my Wifi Network using core dump after installation.  The problem was that the WPA_Supplicant was giving an ioctl [ SIOCSIWSSCAN ] error, saying resource temporarily unavailable.

All the details were correct in the wpa_supplicant and network profiles.  So was rather confused, especially seeing as i had done a network install only minutes prior.

Tracked it down to a discrepancy in the driver versions used on the cd and that installed onto the system. The cd uses iwl3945 1.1.21 and the installed system 1.2.0ds.

Swapping the drivers over instantly solved the problem. This was on a Toshiba Satellite A200-1TO for reference.

Works perfectly now... Clearly

Just thought i'd mention this incase anyone has/or has had similar problems with the intel 3945 wireless adaptor.  Was also wondering if anyone has a fix for this, as it'd surely be better to be using the later driver?

Might be worth filing a bug report with the intel wireless devs, the ds part sounds like a beta or something.

Maybe, didn't really think about raising a bug report, just wanted to get it working as quickly as possible.

Just grab the driver off the ISO, if not I can email you the kernel module. You are looking for iwl3945.ko
