Hello Friends,
This is my first post on CentOS mailing list. I am using CentOS since last 3 years and using Linux since 2003. I am Java Based ERP(http://ofbiz.apache.org/) developer and I truly appreciate the stability of CentOS as the Desktop machine for the developers.
My Wireless card details is "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG".
I have installed the package dkms-ipw3945.noarch and it has installed all the dependent package for wireless card to work properly.
When I put command modprobe ipw3945 then it didn't give any error. My LED is glowing properly.
I have spent more then 10 hours on this and now I am looking to have some community help on my problem. Any help or pointer on this would be greatly appreciated .
The ipw3945 is deprecated and replaced by the iwl3945 driver. So you might to want to give the current one a try. iwl3945 is enabled in the centosplus kernel (but not in the distro kernel). You would need to install the firmware file into /lib/firmare. For more details, see this earlier post:
