Hi Jim, This is an increasingly common occurrence as people are migrating from the etch kernel with the horrendously non-free ipw3945 driver to the shiny new iwlwifi driver that is in the Debian kernels as of 2.6.23.
The cure is to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules and remove the line that is associating your wireless device with the ipw3945 driver. Further instructions are at: http://www.nanonanonano.net/linux/debian/ipw2iwl or http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi#head-c9ab967d827d9e5de52656b78edab5f349bc70f6 > udev: renamed network interface wmaster0 to wlan BTW you don't want to rename wmaster0 -- just leave that one as it is. The device to use is the wlan0 device. For anyone else who is curious, it seems that network-manager doesn't like the wlan0_rename device and refuses to work with it. Fixing up your /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules file will allow network-manager to once again manage your wireless device. cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescott www.nanoNANOnano.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
