** Summary changed: - "3945" + Problems with WLAN and "ipw3945" ** Description changed: Hi! - I own a Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m, which has a built-in Intel 802.11abg WLAN - adapter. + My Lenovo Thinkpad Z61m runs on a fresh install of "Edgy 6.10" (kernel + 2.6.17-10-generic). The Z81m has a built-in Intel 802.11abg WLAN + adapter, which is supported "out of the box" in "Edgy" by the module + "ipw3945". I installed the package "wpasupplicant" and could "see" my + WLAN router with "iwlist scanning", but couldn't connect to it with + DHCP. + + I found the solution by looking at my laptop's WLAN status LED: I + couldn't connect to the router when this LED was flickering madly. + Everthing started to work the moment I set "scan_ssid=0" in + "wpa_supplicant.conf", unloaded "ipw3945" and ran + + sudo modprobe ipw3945 + sudo ipup eth1 + + To shut down the connection, I ran + + sudo ipdown eth1 + sudo modprobe -r ipw3945 + + because the status LED started to flicker again on "ipdown". + + Once in a while, the connection still dies out of nowhere, but this can + be monitored by the flickering LED as well. + + Martin -- Problems with WLAN and "ipw3945" https://launchpad.net/bugs/72925 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
