Connecting to my wireless network
First off, having used 'lspci' It lists my wireless card (0b:00.0 Network controller: Intel COrporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)) Does this mean that my card has been installed properly?
Next, I managed to install NetworkManager and all the appropriate packages however, I am not seeing the application icon ANYWHERE. Yes, I checked the upper-right's 'notification area' and looked to add an application icon, it's no where to be found. And even without NetworkManager, I am having a hard time grasping what to do next in connecting my card (that is, even if it is installed properly). I ran /sbin/iwconfig and in each (lo, eth1, eth0, sit0) it listed "no wireless extensions". Thanks guys |
You need to install ipw3945 driver. It should be easy, but it depends on your distro.
So what is your distro. In any case, you can follow this guide : http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/INSTALL (but this is the more difficult way, although it works on any distro) If the driver is installed, you should run : modprobe ipw3945 |

This link below may be a little more simplified but looks to be similar to the one above:

# apt-get install ipw3945-modules-`uname -r` ipw3945d firmware-ipw3945 wireless-tools
# vi /etc/network/interfaces |
