ipw3945 fails to associate
Hi, My system: Asus Aspire 5570 laptop with ipw3945 wireless card. Using Fedora Core 6 I can't make NetworkManager to associate to either encrypted or unencrypted wireless access points. Using a terminal and iwconfg at the same location associates instantly and dhclient works fine. NetworkManager in the same laptop, same access point but using Ubuntu works perfectly. I would like to get FC6 to work bcause it's the distro I want to use. This are the logs I get in /var/log/messages Apr 2 18:10:48 localhost NetworkManager: information User Switch: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth1 / TPLwireless Apr 2 18:10:48 localhost NetworkManager: information Deactivating device eth1.

The only changes I've done to the network configuration was to disable IPv6 following this guide http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc6.html#ipv6 Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know what extra information should I provide.

Re: ipw3945 fails to associate
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I had a similar problem right after updating from Kubuntu 6.10 to 7.04. My resolution for the problem was to reboot, having never touched the card with iwconfig. I did not run complicated tests, since I was in a hurry, but checking iwconfig on the card when NM was failing to associated showed that it was turning encryption on and off repeatedly. Conversely, if I've ever touched the device with NM, wpa_supplicant will not work on the card (only finds access points with all-zero MAC's) until a reboot where NM never touched the device. I was running 2.6.17-11 until recently, but now I'm running a 2.6.20 series kernel. I haven't done much testing since I upgraded, so I don't know if it will make a difference.
