Well according to the Restricted Drivers Manager, I have an "Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Card". lsmod seems shows the driver as ipw3945 and I'm guessing that's the right one. Some web pages suggest blacklisting ipw3945 and loading iw3945 instead and that doesn't seem to work either. In a nutshell, the card is an Intel 3945 and which is properly identified and has the correct driver loaded. Yet iwconfig doesn't show the card and network-admin doesn't give me an option to go wireless.. Any help would be mucho mucho appreciated.. -- Anupam _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
