With this kernel unter kde i could not change volume-level
Have now running the kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 again on my hp-pavilion
Comment 1 Reindl Harald 2007-07-20 10:38:34 UTC 
Problem seems to be "iwlwifi-firmware.noarch 2.14.3-2"
With iwlwifi-firmware.noarch 2.14.4-1 from testing it works with 2.6.22, but
this firmware kills iwl3945 unter 2.6.21

iwl3945 is generally strange, if it connects while booting - all works perfect,
if you lost your connection a rmmod/modprobe and restart auf wpa_supplicant in
many cases will not bring back connection :-(
Comment 2 John W. Linville 2007-07-20 13:57:41 UTC 
Yes, the firmware update is required for the later version of the driver.  It 
will be pushed at the same time as the updated kernel.

There are many open issues regarding iwl3945.  Perhaps the 'lost connection' 
problem you report matches one of those?  If not, feel free to open a new bug 
to cover that.

I see that kernel-2.6.22.1-27.fc7 has been pushed to stable, but the firmware
hadn't been :-(
I've just asked to have that done through bodhi now.
Comment 6 Reindl Harald 2007-07-23 10:37:20 UTC 
Mhh and it makes me angry
Does the last time no one think before publishing kernels
the last 2.6.21 with dependecies on new mkinitrd was published while mkinitrd
was hanging in "updates-testing"

This should not happen often because normal users have big troubles with such
actions!
