-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Very odd. My laptop has this card and works just fine under sl6.3 x86_64. I'm using it as I type now. Could this be a firmware issue? I seem to recall loading firmware a long time ago for this card (the timestamp on the file is Apr 23 2009 and the details below), but I did a clean install on this system a few months ago. iwl3945 0000:0c:00.0: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 3945ABG iwl3945 0000:0c:00.0: firmware: requesting iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode iwl3945 0000:0c:00.0: loaded firmware version 15.32.2.9
