Re: ipw3945

Hello,

I'm also using the ipw3945 network card (using latest drivers,
networkmanager 0.6.4, wpa_supplicant 0.5.4) but I haven't got it
working yet. The card is detected and networkmanager is able to scan
for APs. However the association doesn't work:

If I truncated the log file too much the full version can be seen at
this url: http://kriz.homelinux.com/trashcenter/networkmanager.txt

A while ago when I was using SuSE 10.1 it worked out of the box - now
using Gentoo it doesn't. Is there anything that needs to be
configured? (wpa_supplicant?)
