Wireless Intel 3945 with Kernel 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686

[davidgf]

Hello!

Maybe this happens to some of you, I don't know.
The fact is that since the last kernel actualization (2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686) I cannot connect to my WPA wifi network. If I try with other version (2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686) connects without problem.

I don't know if its a general problem or only mine. If any of you with a Intel 3945 ABG card experience the same problem, please post!

Thank you in advance!

David

I have the same problem, Lenovo T61p and kernel 2.6.25.9.fc9.i686.PAE If I look in the /var/log/messages it shows that it fails for the dhclient.

edit: also iwl3945

Going back to 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686.PAE solves it.

I guess that i have a "me too"

when i just upgraded to 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 my wireless networking stopped working.

using driver - iwl3945

it works fine when i go back to my old kernel - 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686

oops - hope that it gets fixed soon

I just got the new kernel. We'll see how my wireless (iwl3945) responses after the reboot. Be back in a few minutes...

It's working...

hi, which new kernel are you using? is this a kernel that you built yourself or where did you get it.

many thanks

OK, so I'm not alone with my Acer 5920 (with Intel Wireless 4965AGN) and the new kernel 2.6.25.9-76.

Booting with previous version 2.6.25.6-55 everything works normal. Somehow there is a problem in the last stage of connection to the WLAN. Both lights on the animated Network-Manager icon go green, but after that nothing happens.

Hope this gets fixed soon.

It doesn't see to be a general thing or I would have thought we would have heard more complaints by now. However, I can add a Broadcom 4306 using the b43 driver to the list.

It was the latest one via yum update.

2.6.25.9-76.fc9

[davidgf]

Should we post it in to dhclient mailing list or in the kernel one??

If anyone has any solution post please!

Thanks for your support!!!!

same issue here add me to the "it broke" list.

Same problem, using iwl3945 on a Dell Inspiron 6400.

Re-booting has no effect so currently booting with the previous kernel.

I have added info to Bugzilla Bug no 453882.

This seems to be a case-by-case basis. Mine is fine.

Hi,

I am seeing the same issue.

Lenovo X60
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
iwl4965-firmware-4.44.1.20-1.noarch
NetworkManager

Under kernel 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 WPA connection fails, under 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 it all works fine.

Thanks,
Graham

The same for me.
Lenovo N200, Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
new kernel is broken

maybe WPA is the matter in broken cases?

[davidgf]

Can you make a test using WEP?? I'll do if I have more time and also I'll recheck the log. As said, it fails dhclient. Maybe using a static IP solves it.
