About to clean install here and in live cd 3.4 32bit , right click knetworkmanager and select wifi = 28% then nothing 2 times = weard. Manual wifi and same happens , weard.
Then went to terminal as root and ran :
net-setup
Using all default for wireless and as applicable it connected and typing this now as result.
Knetworkmanager is still dead.
So likely Knetworkmanager is full of Microsoft LOL .
Might want to disable knetworkmanager from starting and then using the networking part of the forum and post = "before 3.4e ipw3945 ...." and links / info there to make it start by default at boot for wifi.
rc-update and kernel-2.6 is important for starting at boot.
This might help you. On bcm4311mcg dell 1390 now so not just the ipw3945 bug .
