Unable to switch from ipw3945 to iwl3945
Hi All,
I'm trying to move to kernel 2.6.24 and the new iwl3945 drivers. I've
uninstalled the old ipw3945 modules and daemons, and followed all the
steps described here http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi, but I still can't
connect to my router. The errors I see are:
Apr 1 19:11:56 nibbler dhclient: wmaster0: unknown hardware address
type 801
Apr 1 19:11:56 nibbler dhclient: Listening on
LPF/wlan0/00:18:de:11:ec:08

LPF/wlan0/00:18:de:11:ec:08
Apr 1 19:11:56 nibbler dhclient: Sending on Socket/fallback
Apr 1 19:11:56 nibbler dhclient: receive_packet failed on wlan0:
Network is down
ifconfig shows the proper devices:

my /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules contains:
# PCI device 10ec:8169 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", SYSFS{address}=="00:17:31:b5:2e:c8",
NAME="eth0"
# FireWire host adapter 00e01800035a8648 (/class/net/eth1)

SYSFS{address}=="00:e0:18:00:03:5a:86:48", NAME="eth1"
# PCI device 0x8086:0x4222 (iwl3945)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:18:de:11:ec:08",
ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0"
And /etc/network/interfaces has:
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
pre-up ip link set wlan0 up
wireless_essid mynetwork
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface lo inet loopback
auto lo
Is there some other configuration I'm missing? Thanks in advance,
David
