In #5, make sure you do "ifconfig wlan0 up" _before_ "iwlist wlan0 scan". However, "iwl3945: Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch" suggests that you still have the rfkill switch activated. Check closely -- some laptops have actual 'slider' switches (and not just a simple toggle button). The "Error sending REPLY_CARD_STATE_CMD" line suggests there could be a bigger problem, but I'd rather not concentrate on that until the rfkill issue is resolved. Command iwlist wlan0 scan not really works, because not works #1 (ifconfig wlan0 up). My question is, how I am deactivate rfkill, or find how key using rfkill for deactivating? Or how setting rfkill to sow-switch. I am no find help or config for rfkill. This bug I am reported to section wifi - iwl3945 and bug is closed, because problem the say is in rfkill not in iwl3945. Honestly, I have to refer you to the hardware manufacturer for help finding the rfkill switch: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64179&taskId=101&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3355650 Please, please, I do not want use rfkill utility. Respective I am want set this utility to software mode, and set power up wifi over command line. Sorry, I am not have time, bargain with notebook producer, which support only windows. If some body add utility (for example rfkill) to kernel, that I am assume, so when insert to Google "rfkill setting", on first reference I am find settings this utility and not find more as 100 bugs over all Unix platforms! "Radio disabled by HW RF Kill switch" strongly suggests that there is a physical switch somewhere that you have set incorrectly. Either that, or your wireless device is disabled in the BIOS. This does not appear to be a software related (or software fixable) problem. |
