No Joy on Toshibe Tecra M7 with iwl3945 Wireless

Hello,

Sure would like to use Slitaz 3.0 on this machine. It seems to detect the Intel iwl3945 out of the box, but not any wireless. When I do get-iwlwifi-3945-firmware, it loads up what is apparently a newer version. Then it Detects wireless networks (mine shows up amongst others), but wont connect to any of them.

So I figure it wont connect to a wireless network as long as the wired network cable is still plugged in, so I disconnect that cord. Now it wont even Detect any of the wireless networks anymore...

tazhw detect-pci and the window'd equivalent shows iwl3945 driver is loaded. ??! What can I do to get my wireless working? Love to use the distro, but wireless is a dealbreaker for me. Seems like it wants to work for a moment. Other linux distros, such a Puppy, operate the wireless on this machine, so the hardware can work.

Thanks and best regards,

Joe

Slitaz network script will only connect one adapter at a time.

The linux-wireless.tazpkg is installed,the correct firmware and kernel module are loaded for the wireless adapter.

Open xterm

su

password: root

Take down eth0,stop network:

#/etc/init.d/network.sh stop

Configure /etc/network.conf for wlan0 (ls /sys/class/net for adapter alias)

#leafpad /etc/network.conf

Bring up wlan0,start network:

#/etc/init.d/network.sh start
