Hi, with my 3945 some-chip in my DELL M90, I experienced something like your problem. I solved it by installing non-oss firmware, from CD6 (I think...). All looked ok, but didn't work until I did that. Also, later, I discovered some well-hidden dropdowns in the NetworkManager dialogbox, it says "passphrase", I needed it to dropdown to allow me to enter "hex". My experience with SuSE10.2 and my odd 3945 DELL wireless is now excellent. -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
