Well, I tried wicd again and now it sits in the gnome-panel but tells me that there is no network interface.
I have now gone through all the commands given in the WirelessTroubleshootinjg file in the Ubuntu help system. lspci detects the Wifi 3945 device lsmod shows iwl3945 iwlist scan shows wlan0 channel 8 Link quality 32/70 correct ESSID no acceess point rfkill list -- no such command iwconfig wlan0 channel 8 works, but iwconfig wlan0 shows no access point. dhclient wlan0 does not work -- had to ^C it. ping -c 4 127.0.0.1 works ping -c 4 192.168.11.26 gives Network unreachable iproute2 -- command not found So, it appears that the device driver is loaded, one of the iwlwifi firmware files is known the network device is known, bu still no connection.
