Unfortunately, using the latest rpm for ipw3945-kmp provided in this bug report, ipw3945-kmp-default-1.2.2_2.6.22.5_31-5.18.i586.rpm, did not fix my problems.
Small, yet important, correction here. It seems the fix couldn't have worked, since I was already running the updated 10.3 kernel: ~> uname -r 2.6.22.9-0.4-default
When you were experiencing the issue with NetworkManager did it get stuck at 28%?
Very often it would get stuck at 28%, but more frequently it would connect, then lose connection after a couple of minutes.
Also, I may have accidently messed up with the ipw3945-kmp-default.. I may have built it for 2.6.23, what kernel version do you have? uname -r.
In light of my blatant mistake, I downloaded the source rpm bug-330995_ipw3945-kmp-1.2.2-5.18.src.rpm and built it for my kernel: # rpm -qa | grep -i ipw ipw3945d-1.7.22-8.2 ipw-firmware-8-44 ipw3945-kmp-default-1.2.2_2.6.22.9_0.4-5.18 # modinfo ipw3945 filename: /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-0.4-default/updates/ipw3945.ko license: GPL author: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation version: 1.2.2dmpr description: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver for Linux srcversion: 428A6D5C8D816F11D5F7673 alias: pci:v00008086d00004227sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v00008086d00004222sv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: firmware_class,ieee80211 vermagic: 2.6.22.9-0.4-default SMP mod_unload 586 parm: antenna:select antenna (1=Main, 2=Aux, default 0 [both]) (int) parm: disable:manually disable the radio (default 0 [radio on]) (int) parm: associate:auto associate when scanning (default 0 off) (int) parm: auto_create:auto create adhoc network (default 1 on) (int) parm: led:enable led control (default 1 on) (int) parm: debug:debug output mask (int) parm: channel:channel to limit associate to (default 0 [ANY]) (int) parm: rtap_iface:create the rtap interface (1 - create, default 0) (int) parm: mode:network mode (0=BSS,1=IBSS,2=Monitor) (int) Unfortunately, it still behaves the same way: it disconnects me every couple of minutes, then connects back.
