ANy help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm using the ipw3945 on CentOS 5.1 with the following packages:
ipw3945d-1.7.22-4.nodist.rf ipw3945-firmware-1.14.2-1.nodist.rf dkms-ipw3945-1.2.1-1.nodist.rf
Save rpms off of rpmforge. Installed this morning.
I installed mine using this:
yum install dkms-ipw3945 NetworkManagerDispatcher
NetworkManager was part of the base install.
chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManager on chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManagerDispatcher on
I did this via the gnome services app, turning on all runlevels so I could activate 3,4,&5
After installation, reboot your laptop and your wireless adapter should now be seen by the NetworkManager application in Gnome.
I got to this point. Had to play around with the bios for the radio to come on at boot. I think the item that did this was NOT to enable LAN power management.
You can click on it and then connect to it in the taskbar on the right-hand side. I was successful at connecting to a WRT54G at G speed using WPA2 Pre-Shared Key Only and AES encryption algorithms.
My AP is WPA1 with TKIP. Even if I select TKIP (not go the auto route), I am not getting connected.
This is all that was needed to install and connect to the wireless network. Also, the card is seeing 4 different neighbor's wireless connection points, so it's probing and searching appropriately.
I should probably turn on one of my other APs. I do have a lot of them here when needed....
Not sure if this helps you or not.
Just tells me it is my problem, not a general problem. Good to know it works for someone!
Where does NetworkManager keep its information? There was no /etc/sysconf/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 file. I made one (but don't know how to get PTK passphrases into the file). No change.
ARGH!
