CentOS - Oct 2006 - DELL M90 wifi - CentOS 4.4

Hi,

I received ? Dell laptop M90. The wifi card is not reconized. (Intel 3945ABG)

I'm using CentOS 4.4 - kernel 2.6.9 

I saw some solutions on the web but I need to change the kernel.
http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/

 
Is there a solution to make this card working with the same kernel ?

Regards.

Hello Rachid,

Module for Intel 3945 is only for kernels above 2.6.15.

I'm afraid that you will have to change the kernel (compile your own
one)

It's funny for me that Intel 3945ABG is so popular and common Linux
dists doesn't support that wireless card.

Hi,

I found the solution for using the 2.6.9-42 kernel with the Intel 3945ABG card.

You can use the following driver with 2.6.9-42 kernel.
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40rolling/testing/i386/RPMS/ipw3945

Some explications on how to configure it:

Now it's working fine for me on my Dell M90 with CentOS 4.4 with 2.6.9-42
kernel.
