|
Hi all,
I installed ipw3945 driver from sourcecode. I followed the INSTALL.txt instruction, installing also ipw3945d and ieee80211(needed for the driver to work properly). Anything's ok, the daemon is loaded, but when I try to do something (scan, connections ...) it doesn't works.
dmesg says:
| Code: | | ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready |
I think is something related to hotplug... but don't know what?? I think kernel and modules are ok (on slackware and some kernel it works)...
Googled bud found nothing appropriate...Any ideas or docu??
thanks

Did you verify that killswitch is not activated?

Ok! it was the problem!!
I could enable/disable my wireless card with
| Code: |
echo 0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945/*/rf_kill
respectively
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw3945/*/rf_kill
|
Now I can scan channels....Thanks, you saved a lot of my time!
regards Edo |
