I haven't moved to F8 or rawhide yet - still on F7, but the iwl driver in F7 was not nearly good enough to use for the Intel 3945 wireless chipset. I had to go with the ipw3945 package which works pretty well with some tweaking. FYI - if you can't make the Fedora driver work, you might try the ipw one here:<a href="http://atrpms.net/dist/f8/ipw3945/">http://atrpms.net/dist/f8/ipw3945/</a></blockquote><div> Apparently, it has a few dependencies, and it wasn't obvious which ones I needed to fetch from atrpms. Perhaps tonight I will just fetch the sources, and attempt to rebuild ipw3945 <a href="http://et.al">et.al</a>. from my notes for FC6, and see if that makes my life any better. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I also hope that the iwl driver that's packaged with Fedora 8 is in better shape to deal with this chipset. </blockquote> Me too! <div>On 10/17/07, Ignacio Cárdenas <<a href="mailto:iakynet@gmail.com">iakynet@gmail.com </a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">KNetworkManager seems to be broken since the NetworkManager update to 0.7 because the API changes, so if you are using KDE (like me) then you need to wait until the KNetworkManager package update... or install the Gnome NetworkManager frontend... or continue using the ifup method :-) </blockquote></div> The gnome NetworkManager front-end seems to not work (for me) just like KNetworkManager doesn't work.
