Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network I could usually see 2 of my 3 wireless networks but not my MyPlace network. Sometimes I couldn't see any wireless network untill after a rmmod iwl3945 modprobe iwl3945 sequence.</p> <p>Somewhere last weekend I was fed up with my slow booting laptop and decided it was time to clean up my bootorder and remove unused services that I had installed for test purposes only from it's boot procedure. One of the steps I took was removing the default enabling of my wlan0 interface.</p> <p>The result was pretty astonishing, not only is my laptop booting much faster, but also whenever I now manually start NetworkManager it actually finds the MyPlace network and connects to it.</p> <p>Yes I know I should upgrade to FC8 someday , and probably this is a known fact/fix but I never bothered to look further. Lazyness you know ;)</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/node/620#comments fc7 fon fonero iwl3945 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:41:32 +0000 Kris Buytaert 620 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
