Ok, let me describe what happens on my machine. When I load the module with 'modprobe ipw3945', the daemon is started automatically, and I get something like this in dmesg output ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux, 1.1.3dmpr ipw3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation PCI: Enabling device 0000:0c:00.0 (0100 -> 0102) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:0c:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 177 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:0c:00.0 to 64 ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection ipw3945: Detected geography ABG (11 802.11bg channels, 13 802.11a channels) At this point interface is not up yet, so I get the 'iwconfig' output (wifi interface is eth2): [...] eth2 unassociated ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Frequency=nan kHz Access Point: Not-Associated Bit Rate:0 kb/s Tx-Power:16 dBm Retry limit:15 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:15 Missed beacon:0 Then I run 'ifup eth2', machine gets an IP address from access point from DHCP: sudo ifup eth2 Internet Software Consortium DHCP Client 2.0pl5 Copyright 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 The Internet Software Consortium.

After that iwconfig displays the parameters of the connection and of the access point. Can you please go through the same steps, running the same commands and letting me know where you are getting something different?
