Re: iwl3945 doesn't associate to AP with 2.6.26 Linux but does with 2.6.24

Jordi,

Do you see the accesspoint with
iwlist scan

if yes,

does this work:

iwconfig ESSID "essid_name"   without ""
iwconfig key "key"
iwconfig AP xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

where  xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the macaddress of the access point.
after this you should see that you are connected.
