Intel Wireless and 2.6.37

jalu · 2011-02-15 05:38:11

It seems that my Intel wireless (iwl3945) has broken with a recent upgrade (probably 2.6.36.3-2 -> 2.6.37-5). I can find networks in the area, but I can't connect to any of them.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Put your card model in your topic title please.

And provide some more info other than 'it doesn't work anymore'.

One-way ticket to Newbie corner.

I have the same issues with my Lenovo Thinkpad X61 with the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945BG adapter. It used to work fine before the last update. I am using the iwl3945-ucode drivers, kernel 2.6.37. Output of iwconfig shows:

wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"XXX"
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=15 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off

What network manager are you using ?

KNetworkmanager

Intel PRO/Wireless 3945BG adapter and wpa_supplicant and it's working fine for me.
Drivers are also iwl3945

I got it working finally. Configured everything manually after following the Wiki:

ifconfig wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant
wicd-client

I must say Wicd is the way the go, stop bothering with all the network/networkmanager/netcfg etc.
