Up until the 2.6.18-1.2739.el5 kernel ipw3945 was included in the redhat
kernels.
Redhat have removed it from the 2.6.18-1.2740.el5 kernel, I would really
like to know
why?

What has ATRPMS got to do with the rhel5 kernel??
The latest rhel5 kernel has dropped ipw3945 support.
ATrpms provides support for RHEL5 kernels in form of kmdls, there is
no need for the kernel to support ipw3945, i.e. the same situation
exists like for RHEL4 or FCX where the kernel also hasn't ipw3945
patched in and is supported by kmdls. Similar for other kernelland
parts.
The drawback is that ATrpms hasn't yet an rhn feed for RHEL5 update
packages. There is some process to get entitlements for ATrpms, and
when that happens ATrpms will closely track RHEL5 beta and of course
RHEL5 proper kernel releases.
I case anyone want to sponsor entitlements to ATrpms don't hesitate,
that would speed up the process, of course. Other than the
entitlements everything else is already in place.

Can anyone tell me the current status of IPW3945 support in rhel5?
i.e. this ...
* Wed Nov 01 2006 Don Zickus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2.6.18-1.2740.el5]
- Remove support for ipw3945 driver (Don Zickus) [195534]
I don't understand what you're referring to, but I'm using atrpms
packages atop RHEL 5 beta 1 to run the ipw3945 wireless. From memory (I
may have forgotten something), you need
ipw3945
ipw3945-ucode
ipw3945d
ieee80211
and dependencies. Where applicable, the RPM you download must be kernel
version specific (or you'll need to build from source).
Thanks,
Mike
