One experiment you could try would be to download gentoo-sources. Gentoo is known for excellent hardware compatibility. It's my primary distro. I'd check to see how well those sources work- they've always served me well.
The ipw3945 driver definitely supports kernel 2.6- I used it up until a few weeks ago, when I started using the iwl3945 driver. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Corda Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2008 2:31 PM To: lfs-support@linuxfromscratch.org Subject: wireless woes Help! I still have problems with wireless I patched my kernel, but the patch was unsuccessful. modprobe outputs the following modprobe mac80211 [ 239.356.000] mac80211: Unknown symbol iw_handler_set_spy [ 239.356.000] mac80211: Unknown symbol iw_handler_get_thrspy [ 239.356.000] mac80211: Unknown symbol wireless_send_event [ 239.356.000] mac80211: Unknown symbol iw_handler_get_spy [ 239.356.000] mac80211: Unknown symbol ieee80211_radiotap_iterator _init [ 239.356.000] mac80211: Unknown symbol iee80211_radiotap_iterator_next [ 239.356.000] mac80211: Unknown symbol iw_handler_set_thrspy FATAL: Error inserting mac80211 (lib/modules/2.6.22.5DEC/kernel/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) dmesg prints the mac 80211 at the end. But when I do lsmod only the snd_hda_Intel which is the intel highe definition sound driver loads. I followed the guide perfectly although I did mistype make mac80211 at one point but I repatched and triple checked everything so I really need help Classes also begin in 5 days for me so I really need to have this working. I have also looked on line but can't really find much help in regards to this. I was thinking of attempting to use the deprecated ipw3945 drivers but in the documentation they were only supported by kernel 2.2 and 2.4 so I did not attempt as well you need hotplug scripts which I believe are only supported by 2.2 and 2.4.
