I can confirm this problem. It works with kernel 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 for me, but not with 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 I don't have 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686, only initial 2.6.25-14.fc9 because system was just installed. Tried to boot 2.6.25-14.fc9 - works fine. I can confirm this issue on the kernel 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.x86_64. Working fine again when booting kernel 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64. DITTO: Dell D620 with iwl3954 upgraded to 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 yesterday and wireless stopped working using NM (and WPA), error appears to be at the point of the "wlan0: link timed out." error message as shown in comment #1. AP appears to be fine as the macs and wii continue to work. Note that Dell has an a10 firmware out for the d620: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R186796&SystemID=LATITUDE D620&servicetag=&os=BIOSA&osl=en&deviceid=10109&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=9&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=1&fileid=255482 This appears to have wireless compat fixes which may help, sadly, the firmware-tools as shipped in F9 is too old to install this firmware using the Dell tools, which are requiring firmware-tools >= 2.0.0. Bug to bump firmware-tools is #454204 Tried the BIOS update from above (a09 -> a10) which does not appear to resolve the problem. Bummer. I can confirm this is a regression from kernel-PAE-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 (works)
to kernel-PAE-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686 (breaks).

More one with same problem. Same thing of comment 3. This bug does not seem to be just iwl3945 related! I could also reproduce it on a machine with a Linksys WMP54G (RaLink RT2561/RT61) using the rt61pci driver. Again, no connection possible with 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.x86_64, but working with 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.x86_64. Confirmed on iwl3945 as well, same "link timed out" problem. .55 works, .76 does not work. Is there any ETA on a fix? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 453390 *** |
