Re: Networking problem (SOLVED)
What is your Wi-Fi chip? Maybe you don't have the driver module installed for the newer kernel version. Its an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG. From my dmesg in the 2.6.18-4 kernel: --- ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.1.2dmpr ipw3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation --- But i didnt get any message about this driver being out of date. Im sorry, i looked closely at the packages and i see now that theres a new version of the driver package to go with the new kernel. I would have expected that there would be some kind of automatic update, or some way of letting me know that when i upgraded the kernel i needed to upgrade the driver package as well. Anyway i just installed the new version of the driver, that goes with the -5 kernel, and its working fine. Thank you for putting up with this newbie! Jen Fussy? Opinionated? Impossible to please?

Just install ipw3945-modules-2.6-686, which I mentioned in the other reply - it does just this. Sorry I haven't seen your last post before replying to the previous.

Networking problem solved.
Thanks! You folks are great. All I had to do was install the module with the apropriate conf info (io=0x300 irq=10) and it is working great. Next I'll recompile the kernel to get rid off all those extraneous CD drive checks...but first, maybe I'd better see if I can mount the smb share with the source for our product (what, do work?:) --- Allan Anderson -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
