Comment 3 Matthias Saou 2007-11-20 20:51:47 UTC
Reassigning against the kernel, since this isn't a firwmare package specific bug.

Comment 4 Sven Oehme 2007-12-06 09:26:04 UTC
is there anything else i can provide ? 

Comment 5 Matthias Saou 2008-02-03 18:16:12 UTC
Reassigning properly with owner change (oops!).

Comment 6 Christopher Brown 2008-02-03 23:43:37 UTC
Re-assigning to wireless maintainer. Please test against a 2.6.24-based kernel
when you are able and update this bug.

Comment 7 John W. Linville 2008-02-04 13:48:30 UTC
If problems persist with current F8 kernels, please try adding "options 
iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1" to /etc/modprobe.conf.  Does that change the 
situation for you?

Comment 8 Sven Oehme 2008-02-05 20:18:13 UTC
i updated to the latest fc9 kernel from kojo , that fixed my problem .

Comment 9 Christopher Brown 2008-02-06 01:10:27 UTC
Thanks for the update Sven. Closing to reflect that then...

Comment 10 Sven Oehme 2008-02-13 00:57:32 UTC

Comment 14 John W. Linville 2008-03-13 15:29:21 UTC
Is this still a problem with recent F8 kernels?

   http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=42735

And/or recent rawhide kernels?
