Is there any reason you compiled from scratch when there are perfectly good debs available? Enable contrib and non-free in your sources.list and run aptitude install firmware-ipw3945 ipw3945-modules-`uname -r` ipw3945d Add ipw3945 to /etc/modules, and when you reboot your wireless should be working. At this point you can remove contrib and non-free from your sources.list if you wish (But you'll need to re-enable contrib each time you update your kernel, because you need to reinstall the ipw3945 modules) If you want to use what you compiled from source just install ipw3945d, I believe that is what you're missing to make your wireless work. - -- http://digital-haze.net/~pobega/ - My Website If programmers deserve to be rewarded for creating innovative programs, by the same token they deserve to be punished if they restrict the use of these programs. - Richard Stallman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGhU34g6qL2BGnx4QRAsX/AKCjCl4uxD+uTBUHOGH/kBLd5Xc0eQCdEs/W yPvtb4UuGBr0YcfC9S0r8cA= =ZSwN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
