I have iwl3945 card: # dmesg | grep iwl iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.1.17ks iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation iwl3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection iwl3945: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 23 802.11a channels phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-3945-rs'
And used http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ipw3945 giud to setup my wireless network. My kernel is Linux 2.6.24-gentoo-r3. Unfortunately I can't emerge iwlwifi (but maybe it's not required?): # emerge -pv iwlwifi These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r10 USE="symlink -build" 44,216 kB [ebuild N ] net-wireless/iwlwifi-1.2.23 USE="ipw3945 -ipw4965" 355 kB Total: 2 packages (1 new, 1 in new slot), Size of downloads: 44,570 kB - it wants gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r10, but I emerged iwl3945-ucode-2.14.1.5. Also looks like it's impossible to get WPA-PSK working with iwlwifi driver - I didn't find any success story in Google. At the moment I have: # iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wmaster0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=off Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2346 B Encryption key:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 But can't get wpa_supplicant working.
