Hello Akemi, Thanks for your reply. I have seen the details in the thread and after reading that thread I have few questions :- 1) Can I install the Centos Plus kernel with the existing one that is distributed with Centos 5.2? I have read the information from the link http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus It looks like that I have to include / exclude the package. I had changed the settings inside /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo. #additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4 includepkgs=iwl* 2) Now if I am running yum search iwl then it is not giving any result. The main problem at my end is that it is showing two wireless devices but I am not able to join those devices. Can you please tell me how can I troubleshoot wireless settings (like which are the important files that plays important role in wireless setup)? Any document shared on internet that tells us step by step wireless setup would be of great help. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Ashish Vijaywargiya Indore (M.P), India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indore On Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 10:57 PM, Akemi Yagi <amyagi at gmail.com> wrote: > On Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 9:49 AM, Ashish Vijaywargiya > <vijaywargiya.ashish at gmail.com> wrote: > > 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.
