linux-2.6-iwlwifi-sband-registration.patch
This should be available in 2.6.24.3-50.fc8 (and probably thereafter): http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=523830 Give that a try and report the results here? Thanks! Tried out i586 since it looked like i686 wasn't done building, and it's working fine. Thanks for the quick fix. kernel-2.6.24.3-50.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8 Unfortunately, 2.6.24.3-50 doesn't work too, but obviously for another reasons,
the association is just timed out (I'll attach my dmesg output). When I try to
setup the connection manually (i.e. I stop the NM and type "ifup wlan0"), I get:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such file or directory.
I didn't touch anything manually, except that after an upgrade to 2.6.24.3-34 I
renamed wlan0_rename back to wlan0 (under /etc/sysconfig/...).
The last working (concerning wireless) kernel for me is still 2.6.23.15-137.

output of dmesg
My English is not so good but I try to explain my problem the last time my wireless card (iwl3945) worked was with the kernel 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 since kernel 2.6.24.3-34.fc8 I get maybe after hours of testing a connection and my /var/log/messages was 1,1GB big so I deleted it and doesn't used my intern wlan card instead I used my external wlan card (rtl8187) but not with the driver which comes with the kernel because this driver doesn't support ad-hoc mode, i used the driver from this howto: http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/ticket/378 now all was ok after kernel update to 2.6.24.3-50.fc8 I tested my intern wlan card again and it is all the same like with the 2.6.24.3-34.fc8 kernel at the moment my /var/log/messages is 178,8 MB big but at the time I don't used my iwl3945 card it was always less than 1MB I added the output of dmesg there is written the same which makes my /var/log/messages so big on the last lines you can see that the other wlan card works (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=299363) i have my terminal set to 4000 lines that's why you can't see the beginning of dmesg I want to use my intern wlan card again because our other computer has no wlan please fix this bug Jann, that is a different issue as well. Please open a new bug for it...thanks! The last working kernel for iwl3945 is 2.6.24.3-12. I have the same problems with 2.6.24.3-64 (I'm using ad-hoc mode if it matters) |
