> cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10" Here are my notes on the install: Installed the iwl3945 driver as described at: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download Modified /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, commenting out the eth1 device for the ipw3945 driver: # PCI device 0x8086:0x4222 (ipw3945) # Commented out to test iwl3945 driver # SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:1f:3c:28:be:d7", NAME="eth1" Added the following to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: blacklist ipw3945 blacklist ieee80211 blacklist ieee80211_crypt Added the following to the end of /etc/modules: iwlwifi_mac80211 iwl3945 During my travels in trying to get this to work I did install wicd. I originally got the card to work with wicd/iwl3945 but found that, as I moved from site to site, wicd did not reconfigure my passwords and/or password types correctly (can't remember the details, but I viewed the config files and they were definitely not being updated properly). Because of this, I removed wicd and am now using the network-admin tool that comes with Ubuntu and all is reasonably well. I find that, if I loose my wireless connection, I sometimes have to reboot to recover it and sometimes not. Ah well, at least it works generally. Thanks to all who have worked getting the drivers to work!
