Re: iwl3945 - any hints with F7?

Mike,
I never did get iwlwifi working well. I ended up switching to the old ipw3945 driver.

Subject: iwl3945 - any hints with F7?
I have been running ipw3945 in FC6 on a Samsung Q35 for some time and would like
to install F7 but am nervous about doing this unless I know that iwl3945 works
reliably in F7.
I would like to be able to simply have a
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 file setup, make sure the firmware is
there and then boot so that the iwl3945 is then as simple as ipw2200 in another
laptop with F7.
Does anyone have iwl3945 working well and consistently with F7?
If so a few success stories would inspire my confidence in doing the F7 install
on this machine (I run F7 on every other machine I am looking after none of
which use the 3945 card!)
Thanks

Wireless problems
by Smitten
I'm bugging you guys because Fedora Project page says to. *grin* I run
Fedora 7 on a PowerBook G4. Until about a month ago (while I was still using
FC6), I had no problems using my Apple AirPort card. After installing a
kernel update, it stopped working. I used bcm43xx-fwcutter and reinstalled
the AppleAirPort2 driver. When I dmesg, I get the error message:
ERROR: YOUR FIRMWARE IS TOO OLD. Firmware from binary drivers older than
version 4.x is unsupported. You must upgrade your firmware files.
So I searched through bugzilla and found bug: 240820 which was marked as
Closed/RAWHIDE.
The fix was to d/l the wl_apsta.o driver and use bcm43xx-fwcutter on it. I
did so.
Failed with following msg:
broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod/wl_apsta.o
Sorry, the input file is either wrong or not supported by bcm43xx-fwcutter.
This file has an unknown MD5sum 9207bc565c2fc9fa1591f6c7911d3fc0.
I've tried every other driver listed in the man pages or the README and I
get either FIRMWARE TOO OLD or unknown MD5sum.
Since I'd been thinking of upgrading to F7 anyway, I waited until the DVD
came in and I upgraded. No luck. Same exact problems. They rolled out a new
release w/o fixing the problems of the old one.
Since PCMCIA support has not worked since FC6, this pretty much makes my
laptop a brick. What use is a laptop w/o wireless? I noticed on your list
that someone else asked about PCMCIA support but was never answered.
I've used Linux, specifically Redhat/Fedora since Redhat 4.0. I was an
actual customer who bought the discs, since I didn't have the ability to d/l
them, so you can image how disappointed I am at how the quality of the Linux
product has degraded over time. Unless someone, somewhere knows how to fix
this problem, I'm going to have to blow away the Linux partition and say
good-bye after 10 years. I'll have to learn how to use OS X. *sigh*
BTW, I'm NOT a guru. I've been using Linux because it was so EASY to use. I
rarely even open the terminal - until the last year anyway. So if anyone
does have a fix, please keep it simple.
Many thanks.

Compiz problem on ThinkPad R50 + ATI Mobility Radeon 9000
by Nikolay Botev
Hi,
I just installed Fedora 7 on my laptop.
When I enable
the Desktop Effects (switch to compiz) everything works fine except
that about 1/4 of the desktop on the right side gets cut off. I can
still move windows over that area, but the desktop does not extend over
that area (background and bars).
I'm running with a 32MB ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 card at 1400x1040.
Is this a known issue? Has anybody else experienced it? Is there a fix?
Thanks,
-Nikolay

Things are working fine when I change it back to "US English" layout.
Thanks for the help.

Fw: Problem with keyboard while typing some characters.
by Al Thompson
I've developed some keyboard weirdness here too that I'm trying to track down. Occasionally, I get dropped characters, multiple characters, or wrong characters. It only happens sometimes, so I'm not really sure if it's a new issue. I'm running Core 7, KDE, and it shows up so far in Firefox.

Where do you have this problems? KDE? Gnome? Or on the console? Both
KDE
and Gnome have their own keyboard managers which are responsible for the
layouts. If you expect those troubles on the console, use
system-config-keyboard to change the keyboard layout and deactivate the
dead keys.

Problem with keyboard while typing some characters.
by Shridhar Sahukar
Hello,
I have installed FC6 on my Compaq nx6110 laptop. I was earlier using
RHEL4 and there was no issue at all.
With FC6 I am facing some issue with my keyboard when I type characters
like " (double quote), ' (single quote), ~ (tilde), ` (back quote) etc.
These characters wont appear as soon as I type then. But if I press
<space key> following these characters, then they appear.
I had enabled some regional languages during installation, which had
installed some package called "SCIM". I suspected the problem with the
package and uninstalled it, but it didnt help.
Has anyone come across the same problem? Is there any known issue?
Thanks in advance.
