I haven't been able to get the 'new and cool' iwlwifi driver included in the latest kernels working with my ipw3945 NIC.
'iwlist eth0 scan' appears to work properly, but NetworkManager refuses to associate.
I recall in a previous thread that NM needed some patches to make this work. Has that happened?
Fails to associate with open (thanks Google!), WEP or WPA networks.
Get these messages during boot:
wmaster0: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) ; SET failed on device wmaster0 : Operation not supported SIOCSIFFLAGS: operation not supported
I've killed NM and tried to associate manually, but haven't been successful.
Any hints?
Am I just jumping the gun on NM?
thanks, tom

I got it to work once when I:
- found an open network (no key) - set the ap manually - set the freq manually - set the essid manually - ran dhclient
This only worked once. The rest of the times, it didn't work.

Hm. Someone please remind me why we're shipping non-functional software, again?
And why a patch to make plain old ifup/ifdown scripts to work with wpa_supplicant has been ignored for months[1] or even years[2]?
Attaching a cleaned-up patch from [1] (without cosmetics). Still (!) applies cleanly against FC6's initscripts.

Doesn't find the device (modprobe'd it by hand).

My machine (Toshiba dual-core Satellite) just hangs there, had to disable wmaster0 setup on boot.

For me, the timeout on wmaster0 setup on boot is about 2 minutes or so. Then it 'unblocks' and proceeds.
