Another ipw3945 problem

securitybreach · 11-24-2006, 11:19 PM

I recently installed Slackware 11.0 and I have everything setup on my laptop except for the wireless card. I have the Slackware kernel 2.6.17.13-smp installed.

lsmod shows:

lspci shows the card as

Code:

5:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)

So I installed the ipw3945 driver following the instructions from here
http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:...s&ct=clnk&cd=1

I installed the following packages:

Code:

comhack@DarkStar:~/wir$ ls
ieee80211-1.2.15.tgz  ipw3945-ucode-1.13.tgz
ipw3945-1.1.0.tgz     ipw3945d-1.7.22.tgz

Whenever I boot dmesg shows:

Code:

comhack@DarkStar:~$ dmesg | grep ipw3945
ipw3945: version magic '2.6.17.13 mod_unload 486 gcc-3.4' should be '2.6.17.13-smp SMP mod_unload 686 gcc-3.4'
ipw3945: version magic '2.6.17.13 mod_unload 486 gcc-3.4' should be '2.6.17.13-smp SMP mod_unload 686 gcc-3.4'
ipw3945: version magic '2.6.17.13 mod_unload 486 gcc-3.4' should be '2.6.17.13-smp SMP mod_unload 686 gcc-3.4'

Also, here is the output from lspci:

I first searched both Google and Linuxquestions.org for help and found many posts but nothing I could use.

If anyone has any ideals, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
