Here is how I got mine working... first try for me also and I finally
got it going.
System->Administration->Network
Edit wireless (mine is eth1) so it is not active on boot
System->Administration->Services
Disable network and wpa_supplicant
Enable NetworkManager, make sure ipw3945d is also enabled
edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf so it looks like
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="cd"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
psk="yourpre-sharedkey"
}
Reboot (using Gnome) with NetworkManager running it shows me available
wireless
networks, I can select mine, it asks for the psk (which leads me to
believe it is not
reading the wpa_supplicant.conf file but I have it in there anyways) it
will save the key for you.
That is how I got it working.
