Hello,
I have a Dell Latitude D620 with SL kernel 2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 installed.
Everything works fine except the Wifi:
Error message in system-config-network 1.3.99:
"Définition des informations IP pour eth1. échoué. Aucun lien n'a é
té
trouvé. Vérifier le câble ?"
(sorry this is french, it means "no link found. check cable?")
I have installed all the ipw3945 related packages:
ipw3945
ipw3945-firmware
ipw3945d
kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5
The card seems to be dected (I also see the wifi led blinking):
# /sbin/lsmod | grep ipw3945
ipw3945 178856 1
ieee80211 33417 1 ipw3945
but it seems to be unasociated:
# /sbin/iwconfig eth1
eth1 unassociated ESSID:off/any Nickname:"lerma10.obspm.fr"
Mode:Managed Frequency=nan kHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm

I can however see the mac address in system-config-network. So I tried
forcing this address with "iwconfig ap ..." but the result it the same...
Any clue?
Do you see your access point, if you do a scan?
# iwlist eth1 scan
If yes, for example use "system-config-network" to configure your wireless
settings.
Please see also the documentation:
# yum install Deployment_Guide-fr-FR Deployment_Guide-en-US
# yelp ghelp:Deployment_Guide

Thanks
