I have been doing some investigation. modprobe removes and reinstalls module iwl3945. The firmware files are installed by package firmware-iwlwifi in /lib/ firmware. The module iwl3945.ko is provided with linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 as is iwagn.ko and iwlcore.ko. iwlcore is in use according to modprobe.
wpa_supplicant is running. [iwl3945] is a process. ifocnfig wlan0 gives a MAC address which is set in the NetworkManager. iwconfig wlan0 gives Mode: managed and Acess Point: Not-Associated. iwlist wlan0 scanning gives Cell 01 with ESSID = PC_Area, a different MAC address and Quality: 40/70 According to the NetworkManager applet, Wireless Networks: device not managed Ubuntu 11.10 gies an ipv4 address which is different from that used in Debian. Changed the one in Debian using the NM applet, but ifconfig still uses the old ipv4 address. Will this affect the device being managed? I cannot see what else to do to get the wifi working with Debian squeeze. Has anybody got any ideas? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
