Not only should iwl3945 be used instead of ipw3945, but Gutsy also needs an upgrade to new versions of the iwl3945 and related drivers. The current driver causes occasional system freezes. These may, at least in part, be related to the use of software encryption in the current driver. It seems slightly better with hardware encryption enabled.
Swap driver by: 1. Prevent the system from loading the old driver through blacklisting. Add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: blacklist ipw3945 2. Force load of the iwl3945 driver by adding it to /etc/modules. I.e. add a line in the file with the word iwl3945. Then reboot. -- Hardware encryption can be enabled by creating a file /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945 containing the following line of text: options iwl3945 hwcrypto=1 Then reboot. -- the distribution should use iwl3945 instead of ipw3945 by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158045 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
