There is NO physical switch. XP had some way of enabling the radio. So I went into the bios and played around a bit. Tried an option and now NetworkManager sees the card!
But when I enter my WPA passphrase, I keep going back to being asked for the passphrase :(
I noticed that NetworkManager is using eth1 for the the wireless interface, not wifi0 that I put into modprobe.conf (alias wifi0 ipw3945).
I tried to use wpa_supplicant deamon as I do on my nc4010 that has an atheros pci card. man wpa_supplicant lists ipw as a valid device, but when I supply this, i get
Unsupported driver 'ipw'
SO why does it not like my passphrase that works just fine with my nc4010 and its ahteros card? Granted theweak passphrase I am using fails password checkers, but still.....
Or how to use wpa_supplicant instead of NetworkManager (which is pretty cool, where is its config files).
Not sure if this helps but might be worthwhile reading the forum thread at:
