You can change your network method from using KNetworkManager to the Traditional ifup. It seems to be a problem with the ipw3945 driver, and hand shaking between the AP and Network Manager I have the same card, and mine works by using the killswitch to turn off, then turn the card back on. Hopefully this gets fixed shortly in the driver. Ben -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
