Good morning. I have i386 Etch on a HP Pavilion 6305, and am having a real dog of a time with the wireless networking. Previously, I tried to use ndiswrapper to get the Broadcom card that came with it working, but no such luck. No matter what I did it simply would not connect, even if it could detect and see the local networks. This system uses the mini-pci-e interface, and there aren't that many cards available for it. One is the Intel 3945 card, which seems well supported (if proprietary) in Debian. So I put the card in and load all the 3945 packages for this kernal 2.6.18-4-k7 The strange thing happening is that the card doesn't show up in the lspci list. The Broadcom card does show up, as PCI 03:00:00, but the Intel card just isn't there at all. Next, the kernel module loads but the "userspace daemon" doesn't load because it says "module not loaded". # lsmod | grep 3945 ipw3945 181092 0 firmware_class 10048 1 ipw3945 ieee80211 30664 1 ipw3945 # /etc/init.d/ipw3945d restart Stopping ipw3945 regulatory daemon: ipw3945d. * Not starting ipw3945 regulatory daemon, driver not loaded. Any ideas? A google search only returns successful efforts, everything "just works" once the module is loaded. Not this time, however. I have sent a support request to HP asking if they did something to the mini-pci-e card slot so that I have to buy the card from them, but no reply has been forthcoming as yet.
