I do not mind you e-mailing me directly, but please also include the networkmanager-list in any response so that others may help out. Also, please do not change the subject of the message. Changing the subject breaks threading on certain e-mail clients. > > I was having problems activating my 'wlan1' wireless card.

To me, your entries from /var/log/messages are not particularly insightful. After you try to activate 'wlan1', what does `grep NetworkManager messages' return? (When posting the results to the list, please remove any sensitive information, i.e. MAC addresses, ip addresses, etc., by replacing such information with 'X's.) Additionally, after you attempt to activate 'wlan1', what does `dmesg | grep iwl3945' and `dmesg | grep wlan1` produce? Finally, how are you 'activating wlan1', i.e. what steps or actions are you taking to 'activate wlan1'? Again, feel free to e-mail me directly, but always include the networkmanager-list. Many people more knowledgeable about the inner workings of NetworkManager than I subscribe to that list.
