Hi

I download ipw3945 and the kernel module for it.

I "modprobe ipw3945" and lsmod shows it's there.

But "/etc/init.d/ipw3945d start
* Not starting ipw3945 regulatory daemon, driver not loaded."

How can i get my wireless to work ?

make sure that you have EVERYTHING related ot ipw3945 installed on your
machine. otherwise, the networking doesn't work. namely you will need
(talking about etch or newer all packages are in debian repositories):

ipw3945-modules-{substitute_your_kernel_version_here}
firmware-ipw3945 (binary firmware)
ipw3945d (regulatory daemon)

btw, at least some of these packages are in non-free.


btw, there was a thread on this particular wifi adapter quite recently
on this list.

ipw3945d is installed, but firmware-ipw3945 isn't. Any chance to check
if I have firmware-ipw3945 installed? I'm not sure what I installed
manually, but I don't remember even touching the firmware (I was messing
with iee802.11 and ipw3945 free drivers before I found the Debian
package).

the firmware is usually installed in /lib/firmware. it's called
ipw3945.ucode.

apt-cache policy firmware-ipw3945
should give you something like the following output if it is installed
from debian packages.
firmware-ipw3945:
Installed: 0.4
Candidate: 0.4
Version table:
*** 0.4 0
500 http://debian.uochb.cas.cz etch/non-free Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

you can also start aptitude, search for firmware-ipw3945 (press "/" and
fill in the query box). if it is installed it will have "i" displayed in
front of its name.

[pobega]$ ls /lib/firmware | grep ipw
ipw3945.ucode
[pobega]$ apt-cache policy firemware-ipw3945
W: Unable to locate package firemware-ipw3945

I guess this means I installed it from outside of APT? Would it be a
smart idea to use APT to install it now, or just leave it as is (In case
it ever gets updated I'd rather have APT do it than having to do it
manually).

i think i would just install it from debian packages over the original
file... the installation (together with the other ipw3945-related
packages) will take care of all issues, will create all necessary
scripts, etc... so it should then work without any problems.

Note the typo above; maybe the package is already installed.

I am successfully using ipw3945 on Etch AMD64 these are the packages I have installed:

firmware-ipw3945
ipw3945-modules-2.6-amd64
ipw3945-modules-2.6.18-4-amd64
ipw3945-modules-2.6.18-ananda2
ipw3945-source
ipw3945d


The package with my name in it is self-compiled for a custom kernel I compiled for my system. With the above packages and network-manager-gnome I am able to connect to a WPA2 network. If you also use GNOME you should be able to do the same as it works flawlessly for me. The easiest way to get all the ipw3945 stuff is to start synaptic or aptitude (in interactive mode, i.e. type 'aptitude' and nothing else at the terminal) and do a search for ipw3945 if you install all the packages found it should work.

regards,

Ananda Samaddar

Thanks i got it working, just to get eth0 and eth1 working at the
same time is a mission. If ethernet is configured then wireless will
not work and vice versa.
