Thanks for the prompt reply, Leann. I'm working on downloading Hardy 8.04 beta to test it. I'm in Chile with a very slow connection that literally takes days to download the iso and my first attempt stopped after 450 out of 690 MB.
In the meantime, here is my 'modinfo iwl3945' info. I've been considering downloading the iwlwifi drivers. I recently replaced my 'iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode' file with another one from 'iwlwifi-3945-ucode-2.14.1.5.tgz'. Strangely the files had exactly the same size but differed. There was no difference in performance after the replacement. I changed the file back to the original for now; so this is the setup that a clean install of Kubuntu 7.10 provides (I allowed it to use proprietary drivers). filename: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi/origin/iwl3945.ko license: GPL author: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation version: 1.1.0 description: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux srcversion: B019B21F27D52A5DCDDA000 depends: iwlwifi_mac80211 vermagic: 2.6.22-14-generic SMP mod_unload 586 parm: antenna:select antenna (1=Main, 2=Aux, default 0 [both]) (int) parm: disable:manually disable the radio (default 0 [radio on]) (int) parm: hwcrypto:using hardware crypto engine (default 0 [software]) (int) parm: debug:debug output mask (int) parm: disable_hw_scan:disable hardware scanning (default 0) (int) parm: queues_num:number of hw queues.
