Hello listers,
I have a laptop (HP dv2035us - pavillion) with both OS 11.2 and 11.4 installed. The wireless works in 11.2, but not in 11.4. It has an Intel Pro/Wireless 3945AG/BG chip. <snipped>
Hi Gustav,
According to<http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlegacy> 'iwl3945' and 'iwl_legacy' are correct. Have you checked to see if the firmware is installed?

Carl Thanks Carl, I have the firmware installed, the exact version you mention. I don't think that is the cause, Gustav. No problem, Gustav. It seems this can be quite a troublesome card. Fortunately that means lots of troubleshooting threads in various archives to study. :-)
I don't have the same hardware nor further time to spend on it today, but I've tried to help narrow down the search field a bit. The phrases below in Google each yielded many extremely good threads (mind any line wrapping):

hth & regards,
Carl Hello,
This is what I did to get the wireless up and running. I looked into the links suggested by Carl. I had previously tried both network manager and ifup. I had looked into dmesg, but obviously not completely. linux-rr0f:/# dmesg | grep iwl [ 317.392396] iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: PCI INT A disabled[ 252.125595] iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: Card state received: HW:Kill SW:On[ 252.128064] iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: Not sending command - RF KILL[ 252.128076] iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: Error sending REPLY_RXON: enqueue_hcmd failed: -5[ 252.128084] iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: Error setting new configuration (-5).[ 252.129010] iwl3945 0000:05:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!. CSR_GP_CNTRL = 0x040003DD I then googled for the these error messages. I installed rpm of rfkill (for opensuse 11.4). Then as root entered command "rfkill unblock all" Then rmmod iwl3945 Then modprobe iwl3945 with options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1 (this is not the exact command). Those two steps got things working. ifconfig wlan0 up finally brings up the interface. But still I could not get Network Manager to work properly. I switched to traditional method with ifup Configured the wireles card/network in Yast. rebooted and the wifi light came on and I was connected to the network and could ping the AP. I ooked in this page https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Tracking_down_wireless_problems#wpa_supplicant helped me configure wpa_supplicant.conf and the last step i had to do was take down both eth0 and wlan0 and then bring wlan0 back up with ifup wlan0.
