i just installed fedora and i like it so far, but i'm having
trouble with connecting wirelessly.
fedora apparently recognizes the card because the device is listed as
intel pro/wireless or something like that.
when i try to "activate" it with the network configuration tool i get
this:
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
Determining IP information for wlan0... failed.
i have tried plugging in my settings for one of my home wireless
routers, but it does not help
I assume you're using Fedora 7 since you don't mention
installing the driver. This means you're using the iwl3945
driver. You might like to try the older ipw3945 driver, to do
that:
To /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist add:
blacklist iwl3945
blacklist mac80211
From Freshrpms use yum to install:
ipw3945d ipw3945-firmware dkms-ipw3945
And restart. The device will be ethX rather than wlanY.
If that works you may want to file a bug for iwl3945
(I believe it should be filed against the kernel).
What model is the card you're using? Is this a laptop?
