I tried to get iwl3945 working on hardy with kernel 2.6.22-14.
I still get the somewhat strange eth1 and wlan0_rename interfaces.
Everything is OK:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# iwlist wlan0_rename scanning

But when trying to ifup wlan0_rename I get
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
debug output from wpa_supplicant also includes this error message
Googling this gave me:
the WPA supplicant attempts to perform an SIOCSIWAUTH call on the
iwlwifi driver, but it is NOT supported by that driver. I just grep'ed
through the 2.6.24 release code and it just isn't supported by that
driver. Your alternatives are 1/ live with the error msg, 2/ fix the
iwlwifi driver and add this feature, 3/ hack the wpa_supplicant code to
avoid the error msg, 4/ wait till the driver developer gets around to
fixing it.
