iwl3945.ko missing

Gutsy lum commit 3feaf7e328662324dec24e16d82b3d291f82a48b enables the build of iwlwifi, but modifies the source such that this module is not automatically loaded, e.g., removes MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE from iwl-3945.c

the problem is not about the automatic modprobe of the module, but the module iwl3945.ko is *not* in the package.
Did someone forget to put it in linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-12-generic?

Wasn't Kyle. Twas me.

sudo modprobe -r ipw3945
sudo modprobe iwl3945

The module loads fine for me. Network-manager, on the other hand, has some problems. But thats a different bug report.

Please attach (do not paste) the output of the following commands:

I don't use ipw3945, I use ipw2200. is iwl3945 still a replacement for it? Sorry about that double post, it must have been post data or something.

how come modules is at version 32 and the kernel is at version 39?

Tim,

Can I post some items here? I did a Google search and this is the ONLY place listed where I got a match on some error messages.

Basically, I am getting the same list of errors as Chad. I have a Dell laptop with the 4965 chip. Previously, I have been compiling the stuff on the www.intellinuxwireless.org site and installing it. The 4965 card has worked fine.

Well, with the latest Gutsy kernel releases, I've read that this stuff is built in. So, I'm trying to figure out why it's not working in my case.

I'm wondering if I've got remnants of the intellinuxwireless stuff that is hosing up my configuration or if this is a real bug. I'm hoping to get some help from an expert. - thanks, dave

I'll post some info per your request to Chad:

Chad,

How do you determine the module version number?

thanks,
Dave

just look at them. you kernel is 2.6.22-13.40 and your modules are 2.6.22-13.33

anyways, the modules load for me now, but don't bind to my network card. I guess I'm stuck with ipw2200? how do i get a module for ipw2200 that doesn't cause sleep problems?

Thanks Chad.

I think a better way for me to have phrased the question is:

How does one determine the version of a kernel object (ko) file.

I was curious to know which version of iwl4965.ko is being released so I can compare it to the versions on the intellinuxwireless.org web site.

iwl3945 doesn't drive ipw2200 hardware.

This bug seems not to be completely solved.

i did all of this:

sudo modprobe -r ipw3945
sudo modprobe -r ieee80211
sudo modprobe -r ieee80211_crypt
sudo modprobe mac80211
sudo modprobe iwl3945

but i get:
 sudo modprobe iwl3945

sry, i just saw that the kernel is version 2.6.22-14.46, but modules are version 2.6.22-14.37.

with a fresh gutsy install from the final version (20.10.2007). what a pitty that this does not work.

I get the same unresolved symbols in iwl3945.ko in the amd64 version of gutsy. How long until a fix is released?

Instead of loading the module "mac80211", you can load the module "iwlwifi_mac80211"
Make sure you unload "mac80211" before loading "iwlwifi_mac80211"
So:
sudo modprobe -r ipw3945
sudo modprobe -r ieee80211
sudo modprobe -r ieee80211_crypt
sudo modprobe -r mac80211
sudo modprobe iwlwifi_mac80211
sudo modprobe iwl3945

Update according to instructions in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/+bug/144621. You will also have to blacklist ipw3965 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

iwl3945 is the only driver in Hardy for this hardware. ipw3945 is fully deprecated.
