Download the tarball source for ieee80211 and ipw3945
go into the ieee80211 folder, type make .. say y to replacing the modules
go into the ipw3945 folder and type make
copy the new ipw3945.ko file into where it currently is in your kernel (do a locate ipw3945.ko)
Then your set.
Thanks for this info. I've been out of town and fairly busy for a few days but will try it soon. In the interim I also thought of the idea of downloading the source RPM for the ipw3945 kernel module, since SuSE packages it as a separate RPM (as opposed to the source tarball), substituting your source file, and recompiling the RPM. If that works, it would be possible to post an RPM, which might make it a little easier for people to get up and running. I might give this a try and use the source tarballs if it doesn't work.
For some reason, the network connects fine on my home WPA network, but it's been a show stopper on my parent's open network.
Yes, I will be doing the same once I have some time.. Do you have a link to the src rpm? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
