Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm biting the bullet here and asking for help. Yes! I've posted |
4 |
before. And before anyone asks, I have read the responses to my |
5 |
previous posts which helped little. I have read the documentation and |
6 |
the wikis - ad nauseum. I'm still having problems with wireless. |
7 |
|
8 |
Things were so much easier when I could just use the ipw3945 driver. |
9 |
However, I can't build that because it requires TKIP and CCMP, neither |
10 |
of which I can find settings for in my active kernel, 2.6.34-gentoo-r1. |
11 |
In one of the responses to my previous posts someone told me about the / |
12 |
trick while in the kernel configuration to bring up a search menu. I |
13 |
did this and the only reference I could find for TKIP was one related to |
14 |
debugging. |
15 |
|
16 |
So, I'm left with trying to use the iwl3945 driver in the kernel. I |
17 |
followed the wiki for setting this up and thought I had succeeded. I |
18 |
got to the point where I was told to type the following: |
19 |
ifconfig wlan0 up (this does activate the wireless led on my computer) |
20 |
iwlist wlan0 scan |
21 |
iwconfig wlan0 essid "network name" (where the network name is the |
22 |
essid that has been set) |
23 |
|
24 |
When I got this to work, I thought I was home free despite the "kludgy" |
25 |
way of getting wireless working. However, I rebooted and now, when I |
26 |
type iwlist wlan0 scan I get told that scanning is not supported. Yes, |
27 |
I have iwl3945-ucode installed and yes, it was recompiled after the |
28 |
kernel was rebuilt. |
29 |
|

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Help would be appreciated. |
