Holas! I recently bought a Dell Inspiron e1505 laptop. I purposely got an Intel 3945 wireless card installed, because I read that it was more linux friendly than the dell wireless card.
I emerge'd ipw3945, but can't get it to work. I get an error error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) Operation not supported when I run # iwconfig eth1 key "26 hex character key" when trying to set the the encryption key for my home network. I'm certainly not going to turn off WEP encryption, so I need to fix this. I've got a crappy 6 year old computer using a pcmcia and the airo module that has no issues at all. I used the same /etc/conf.d/wireless file, so that essid, key, etc, were all from a working setup. I'm sure that I'm doing something so simply wrong, that the 4 hour delay to figure out that /dev/sda6 requires scsi sata drivers built into the kernel, will make this seem stupid. It's currently off building KDE/X on the only available wired jack in the house (who thought I'd ever need 13 switch connections?), so if I mis-typed something, I apologize. Please ask. Thanks.
