intel 3945abg wireless controller

[peter abplanalp]

to the guy who is trying to get the intel 3945abg wireless controller to work.  this is what i have on my laptop and it is working.  i installed the following rpms from atrpms.net:

ipw3945-ucode
ipw3945
ipw3945d
ipw3945-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2944

make sure the kmdl rpm you install matches your kernel.  also, have a look at http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/.  after installing the rpms above, i added the following to my /etc/modprobe.conf:

alias eth1 ipw3945
install ipw3945 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ipw3945 associate=1; sleep 0.5; /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet
remove ipw3945 /sbin/ipw3945d --kill; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove ipw3945

the interface then showed up in the networking configuration gui and i was able to configure it.

hope that helps,
