problems activating wireless
Dear list users,
I have a Toshiba satellite Notebook with Debian version 40r4. I have
problems with the wireless card. It is a
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 ABG
I have installed
ipw3945-modules-2.6.18-6-686
ipw3945-source 1.1.2.-7
hostaputils
(all from the repositories)
iwconfig gives
lo no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
(correct, because eth0 and eth1 are LAN which works)
'ifconfig -a' gives
eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr

lsmod | grep 3945 gives
ipw3945 179972 0
ieee80211 29480 1 ipw3945
firmware_class 9600 2 pcmcia,ipw3945
Obviously the card is not seen. Any idea what else I could do?
(By the way: It did nod work either in 40r3, but it works on opensuse
11.0, fedora 9, mandriva 2008.1 and ubuntu 8.04.)
Kind regards and thank you in advance for your help, Ulrich Hiller
