Problem with Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG with Business Ed

[Dark_MaGe]

did you run the deamon? /etc/init.d/ipw3945d start

yes it was....

localhost ~ # /etc/init.d/ipw3945d start
* WARNING: ipw3945d has already been started.

....post a dmesg and again an lsmod

here it is:

localhost ~ # dmesg | grep 3945
[ 34.633430] ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.0dmpr

localhost ~ # lsmod | grep 3945

should i have to recompile the kernel removing the iwl3945??

thankyou again!

FF

no since it's not loaded there's no need for that, but I need the whole dmesg

no isnce it's not loaded there's no need for that, but I need the whole dmesg

as far as I can see from your dmesg...you have a mtrr problem that doesn't make your ati works correctly. as for the ipw try rmmod ipw3945 && modprobe ipw3945 then post again your dmesg so I can see what happened

Well it looks like my wireless router is not giving out DHCP IP addresses for some reason, so never mind.

pressing reset button on the router?

Yeah I even pulled the power for a couple of minutes and no action. I think the router has passed on.
Thanks though.

it's work, now i'm connected with the wifi...

but, what's happened removing and probing the same module again?
and what should i do for not act by hand?

i attach my dmesg read after the cmds

Thank you again, for your precious help!!!

post your cat /proc/mtrr and tell how much ram you have

[fede]

post your cat /proc/mtrr and tell how much ram you have

here it is:

localhost ~ # cat /proc/mtrr
reg00: base=0x00000000 ( 0MB), size=1024MB: write-back, count=1
reg01: base=0x3ff00000 (1023MB), size= 1MB: uncachable, count=1
reg02: base=0xc8000000 (3200MB), size= 128MB: write-combining, count=1
localhost ~ #

bye,bye!!

Have updated the guide / sticky might be alternative / easier now.

I have the same problem (not business edition).
In 3.3 I'm using ipw3945, you said to emerge it (and the daemon), but how can I "emerge" it without connection to the internet? I could download and compile the sources...

Is this info correct: ?

Note which files it tryes to download and where it's getting downloaded from
manually place them in /usr/portage/distfiles, then re-try emerging. It should now emerge without downloading.

bye

tried the instructions above, they seem to work but when ebuilding ipw3945 I get:

* ipw3945-1.2.0 requires support for Wireless LAN drivers (non-hamradio) & Wireless Extensions (CONFIG_NET_RADIO).
* Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
* Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems.
* Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging
* this package again.

Should I recompile the kernel?
