Hi All,
I have searched google/linuxquestions/linuxforum/susehelp and various site. and tried all the possible suggestiong given by them for configureing Intel/PRO Wireless Card but no sucess. I tried the using firmware and even ndiswrapper both failed. Here is try 1) eee80211 version git-1.1.13 Suse kernal 2.6.18.2-34-default installed http://bughost.org/ipw3945/ from link and copied them into /sbin directory copied ipw3945-ucode to /lib/firmware directory and when execute /sbin/ipw3945d it says version 1.7.22 2007-2-22 ERROR: Could not find Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection. executed modprob ipw3945 and than dmesg | grep ipw it shows following Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for linux 1.1.0d ipw3945.ucode load fail : reason -2 try 2) i tried to update ieee80211 what try to install intel firmware and deamon but still no luck.. i have installed gcc usig Yast and than extracted the file for ieee80211 latest patch try to install it errored out.. racle:/home/ppathak/Desktop/Intel3945/ieee80211-1.2.16 # make Checking in /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default for ieee80211 components... grep: /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/build//.config: No such file or directory grep: /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/build//include/linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18.2-34-default/build M=/home/ppathak/Desktop/Intel3945/ieee80211-1.2.16 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.18.2-34-obj/i386/default' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'.

suse provides all the components for ipw3945 since 10.1
Use yast and install drivers, configure it and it works by the way this: eee80211 version git-1.1.13 is quite old (and incompatible with the kernel) currently you can install ieee802111 ver 1.2.16 |
I found with 10.1 it did install that card as default but you needed to install a wireless daemon to get it to work. If you follow what the second guy down says in this thread it will work:-
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/sus...s-3945abg.html But i found with 10.2 i didn't need to do that because suse 10.2 installed and initialised that card straight out of the box, i didn't have to do anything so i'm not sure why it isn't working for you? The only time i've found it to stop working in 10.2 was when i joined my laptop to a windows domain. |
everything is provided by Yast:
ieee80211 ipw3945 ipw3945d ipw3945-ucode wlan and the rest |
Hi,
But than can you please explain how can use them? Thanks in advance |
install using Yast or any other PM:
kernel sources (in sync with your kernel! = exactly the same version number) ipw-firmware microcode_ctl wireless tools (specific for your kernel) wlan-kmp (specific for your kernel) wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant_gui ipw3945 ipw3945d ipw3945-ucode ieee80211 is installed already restart network/or computer configure wireless. Useful tools: wifi-radar (also available from yast) I hope this will help |
