Interesting: you report that it doesn't work, while Carl reports that it
does. Could both of you report on your exact hardware, i.e., laptop type
and wireless hardware? I'm also interested in the contents of the files
/var/lib/acpi-support/system-*. And perhaps the output of "lsmod", to
see if there is anything that can explain the difference.
Cheers,
Bart

I need with this kernel to build module ipw3945. Install firmaware and
run ipw3945d deamon.
WITH KERNEL 2.6.24 module is include in kernel source ie no need
fakeroot module-assistant -k /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-1-686 -l
2.6.24-1-686 -u ./. build ipw3945
Anyway it doesn't compile :)
dmesg give me
iwl3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery present)
input: Video Bus as /class/input/input6
ACPI: Video Device [VGA] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no)
iwl3945: iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: Reason -2
iwl3945: Could not read microcode: -2
ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:03:00.0 disabled
iwl3945: probe of 0000:03:00.0 failed with error -2
at boot time. ifconfig don't show my wifi interface.
ls -ld /sys/class/net/*/wireless/ respond nothing in that case...
apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
and wifi interface is reconize. hurray!
I have also this error when apcid start.
modprobe -v asus_acpi
FATAL: Error inserting asus_acpi
(/lib/modules/2.6.24-1-686/kernel/drivers/acpi/asus_acpi.ko): No such device
My acpi is not reconize as an asus one. Onto 2.6.22 I had this message :
Asus Laptop ACPI Extras version 0.30
unsupported model A6JC, trying default values
send /proc/acpi/dsdt to the developers
I have send /proc/acpi/dsdt to the developers 2 years ago.... But
default values works fine.
What the hell !!! I don't have nay more /proc/acpi/asus/mled. More over
I found only /sys/class/leds/asus\:mail. Only led for email is avaliable
(very usefull feature).
Other thing is, wlan0_rename interface appears in "ifconfig -a" when
iwl3945 is loaded but udev set it to eth2 by reading mac address. But,
eth2 is now an unkown interface (with wrong mac address ie to many
digits) and wlan0_rename is ethernet interface. Very strange...
Changing wireless configuration from eth2 to wlan0_rename does nothing.
No way to have working network!
adding a file in modprobe.d with line "alias eth2 iwl3945" does nothing.
Wireless interface still remain wlan0_rename.
Conclusion : I have to learn how use iwl3945 first. Probably there are a
way to set power on this interface ; rf_kill file don't exist anymore
and I can't find power switch and/or how to use ower/wakeup. For this
bug, in 2.6.26 kernel, I think you must forward it to kernel ->
asus_acpi and kernel -> iwl3945 and focus that it doesn't support A6Jx
model. I have passed many time today and I need stop investigate. If I
have some times I will try to make it working later and report you advices.
I give my lsmod :

Hope, you can understand what I wanted to describe with poor english. If
you found something unclear (for sure), ask me to develop.
