This is a new Centos 5.1 install on a HP nc2400 (that use to run XP).
Completely clean install; blew away the XP partitions...
After applying all the updates, and configuring for the rpmforge repo, I
used yumex to install dkms and the dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945-firmware, and
ipw3945d rpms.
lsmod|grep ipw shows:
ipw3945 180391 1
ieeee80211 33417 1 ipw3945
and dmesg)grep ipw shows:
well a bunch of lines about the card including one with the Radio
Frequency Kill Swithc is On
But the card does not show in Network Manager.
I added to modprobe.conf:
alias wifi0 ipw3945
and rebooted (and power cycled) and no change.
ifconfig wifi0 up
gets: device not found
Oh, this notebook has a Broadcom ethernet adapter that is working just
fine at bootup
But I have to get the wireless working today! Well maybe by tomorrow.
(off to IETF next week, and IEEE 802 the following).
ANy help would be greatly appreciated!
