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.
In the early 2003 I was using CentOS 4 then I moved to CentOS 5 stable release then before 1.5 month I installed CentOS 5.2 (Took all the available updates for 5.2 version). I am using Dell Precision M90 Laptop. My Wireless card details is "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG".
On the CentOS 5.2 I am not able to configure the wireless card on CentOS 5.2 although my wireless card was working fine with CentOS 5.1. 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.
From the Network Manager I have added my Wireless card into the list of
Network Devices and from there I activated my device. But when I try to Join the Wireless Network then it "Deactivate" the status of my wireless device.
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 .
If anybodsy of you can share the step by step learning document on Wireless Setup on Red Hat Derivatives then please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any help .
