Hi
I download ipw3945 and the kernel module for it.
I "modprobe ipw3945" and lsmod shows it's there.
But "/etc/init.d/ipw3945d start
* Not starting ipw3945 regulatory daemon, driver not loaded."
How can i get my wireless to work ?
make sure that you have EVERYTHING related ot ipw3945 installed on your
machine. otherwise, the networking doesn't work. namely you will need
(talking about etch or newer all packages are in debian repositories):
ipw3945-modules-{substitute_your_kernel_version_here}
firmware-ipw3945 (binary firmware)
ipw3945d (regulatory daemon)
ipw3945d is installed, but firmware-ipw3945 isn't. Any chance to check
if I have firmware-ipw3945 installed? I'm not sure what I installed
manually, but I don't remember even touching the firmware (I was messing
with iee802.11 and ipw3945 free drivers before I found the Debian
package).
the firmware is usually installed in /lib/firmware. it's called
ipw3945.ucode.
apt-cache policy firmware-ipw3945
should give you something like the following output if it is installed
from debian packages.
firmware-ipw3945:
Installed: 0.4
Candidate: 0.4
Version table:
*** 0.4 0
500 http://debian.uochb.cas.cz etch/non-free Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
you can also start aptitude, search for firmware-ipw3945 (press "/" and
fill in the query box). if it is installed it will have "i" displayed in
front of its name.
