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.
Have you started the regulatory daemon (ipw3945d)?
Yes ps -C ipw3945d shows with a time of zero. I did yum install
ipw3945 and ipw3945-kmdl-`uname -r` as reported yesterday. My system
boot ipw3945d at initialization. I am somewhat confused about
ipw3945-firmware ( I can't find a yum version) or is it ipw3945-ucode.
I may not have the firmware installed?
If you want to automate this check out
http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/INSTALL (AUTOMATIC DAEMON LOADING VIA
MODPROBE), but beware, there are racing issues, so the suggested
modprobe tricks only work on some systems (which is why it isn't done
by the packages automatically).

Some weeks ago, my employer gave me a Dell Latitude D820 Laptop with

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.
