iwl3945 works differently (read: not as well) from ipw3945. The wacky part is that you have to "up" the interface before you can associate to an AP. The sequence that seems to work reliably for me is: # ifconfig wlan0 up # iwconfig wlan0 essid "linksys-netgear-belkin" # ifup wlan0 Schwab -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
