Axel,
I installed using the yum install command given below. The packages
installed without any errors. I still don't have a wireless
connection.
iwlist scan shows the device eth1 and the mac of the wap on the
network. Another host using fedora core 5 with a wireless adaptor
currently successfully connected to the WAP. I ran lsmod | grep 3945
and get:
ipw3945 195755 1
ieee80211 54132 ipw3945
From the above can you or anyone, for that matter, tell me what I'm
missing. If additional info needed, let me know and I will run.
Thanks.
John

Some weeks ago, my employer gave me a Dell Latitude D820 Laptop with
an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 adapter. I installed FC6 and tried to make
the wireless work, but eventually got the impression that one has to
be a Fedora developer to be able to do that.
Not really, just enable ATrpms and use
yum install ipw3945 ipw3945-kmdl-`uname -r`
and that's already all.
Then I heard that under F7, it would be "much easier". So I upgraded
to Fedora 7 Test 4. There are some glitches, especially that the mouse
seems to click on things by itself, but I am not aware how making the
wireless work has become easier. So what exactly got easier?
The (old) ipw3945 driver still works and is available at ATrpms (for
F7) in case the in-kernel one doesn't.
