I have an Acer TravelMate 8210 with the ipw3945 chipset, running Gusty
Tribe 5 fully updated via Update Manager.
I cannot connect to Open or WPA Networks.
I have modprobed, dbus'ed and switched on an off - with no luck.
I have tried network-manager and iwconfig. The networks are visible in
both applications, but I cannot connect to them with either - leading me
to believe there is a kernel / ip3945 interaction problem.
Wired works fine.
Here is my syslog from a network-manager connection attempt. Eth0 is my wired
interface, Eth1 is my ipw3945 interface.
The short description is "it just sits and spins...." ;)
