Hello, FWIW with PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network, I am using ipw3945 (iwlwifi-3945 is installed but disabled with $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945 blacklist iwl3945 ) it is an i386 system.
rpm -qa|grep 3945 ipw3945-1.2.0-2.sl5 kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5xen-1.2.0-2.sl5 iwlwifi-3945-ucode-15.28.2.8-1.el5 ipw3945-firmware-1.14.2-1.sl5 ipw3945d-1.7.22-11.sl5 kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen-1.2.0-2.sl5 kernel-module-ipw3945-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5xen-1.2.0-2.sl5 Grigory On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 11:19 PM, Steven Timm <[email protected]> wrote: > My iwl4965 driver is OK on the latest (SL5) kernel. haven't had > any trouble.
