I hope this is helpful! -# PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Driver for Linux (note fixes at bottom) -# Also note other links!! -http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ -# Bugzilla + Test Runner Bug 1067 (probably the fix!) -http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1067 -# PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Driver News (news of the fix?) -http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/news.php -# in the txt"ieee80211-1.1.13.tgz(does not work with ieee80211-1.1.14)" -# found at:Linux on Sony Vaio VGN-SZ2M -http://eavr.u-strasbg.fr/~loic/sony_vaioSZ2.html -# Linux: IPW3945, Debating the Binary Daemon (just bg) -http://kerneltrap.org/node/6270 -Good Hunting! Thanks for your efforts, but I haven't made any progress. I don't understand some of the suggested reading! I have tried earlier, and later ieee80211 versions, but nothing changes. I have tried both ipw3945-1.0.0 and ipw3945-1-1-0. As I also use "remove-old" during this time, I have to keep re-installing the kernel. Not all convenient when I can't use the wireless interface! Now I have tried installing from RPMs. This only succeeded in producing a "spin"error on logon. Am I supposed to use a ipw3945-kmod or is this just another name for the driver? DP South Australia
