I tried to get iwl3945 working on hardy with kernel 2.6.22-14. I still get the somewhat strange eth1 and wlan0_rename interfaces. Everything is OK:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# iwlist wlan0_rename scanning wlan0_rename Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: XXX ESSID:"XXX" Mode:Master Channel:11 Frequency:2.462 GHz (Channel 11) Quality=46/100 Signal level=-81 dBm Noise level=-127 dBm Encryption key:on IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1 Group Cipher : CCMP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : CCMP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 22 Mb/s 6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s; 24 Mb/s 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Extra:tsf=00000415973c259f But when trying to ifup wlan0_rename I get ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported debug output from wpa_supplicant also includes this error message Googling this gave me: the WPA supplicant attempts to perform an SIOCSIWAUTH call on the iwlwifi driver, but it is NOT supported by that driver. I just grep'ed through the 2.6.24 release code and it just isn't supported by that driver. Your alternatives are 1/ live with the error msg, 2/ fix the iwlwifi driver and add this feature, 3/ hack the wpa_supplicant code to avoid the error msg, 4/ wait till the driver developer gets around to fixing it. -- iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG stops working when switching to kernel 2.6.24 on lenovo x60 after upgrade from gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192493 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
