I haven't tried it because my machine has a 2945BG, which 'just works'. Follow the instructions on the Sourceforge link, there are links to all the dependencies you need with instructions for each. So take it one step at a time and it shouldn't be too difficult

i have downloaded the package from intel site and i follow the instruction and when ever i run the daemon script i got the following error

./ipw3945d
ipw3945d - regulatory daemon

I'm not sure what you've downloaded here. Did you follow the instructions on the Sourceforge link I posted? Or otherwise try downloading the driver direct from Intel (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/down...=2259&lang=eng) .

i have downloaded and installed it and please provide me with the way of the installations . cuz when i tried to install it failed

:edited::
try blacklisting the driver as shown in the documentation.

adam_blackice · 08-13-2007, 11:20 AM

what do you mean by "blacklisting ? ///

w3bd3vil · 08-13-2007, 11:48 AM

do the following and restart your comp.

Quote:

nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
blacklist iwl3945
blacklist mac80211

then start the daemon
