I recently changed my wirless card to a Intel Wireless 3945ABG.
With my old one realtek it used to work.
so after a suspend to ram (don't know about suspend to disk, doesn't work).
rmmod iwl3945 before suspend removes the interface, but after that when i modprobe iwl3945 it finds the device.
This is what I see in dmesg:
Code:
iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.2.26ks
iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2008 Intel Corporation

iwl3945: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 3945ABG

iwl3945: Unable to init EEPROM
iwl3945: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -2
and the wlan0 interface doesn't show up

Reason: typo
no good
same error
actually the interface wlan0 is still there after suspend, but it just doesn't work
after removing and reinserting the module there is no more wlan0 interface.
the kernel is:
I have just double-checked that mine works after suspend, no problems here.
I'm using wicd network manager (check "extra" folder in slackware-current) and latest 3945 microcode image, you can download it from here, just extract it on /lib/firmware folder and override old one.
EDIT: Notice that this firmware is iwlwifi-3945-2, move iwlwifi-3945-1 to another folder to avoid errors.
next step:
compiled 2.6.27.8 kernel.
got worse again, now the interface doesn't even get started, also the module is loaded and the chip is detected.
could it be a defective card?
