Which wireless card is that ? Intel 3945 ?
Which Linux distribution are you using ?"To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday. From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow."

You'll need to install a package called "dkms-ipw3945" from freshrpms.net.
First add the freshrpms repository :
Then install the IPW3945 package :Code:rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/6/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm
or perhaps the package is called some other related name, look for the exact name like that :Code:yum install dkms-ipw3945
Or simply go in Add/Remove Programs (once the freshrpms repository is installed).Code:yum list ipw3945

To connect, you can use network-manager.
To enable it, go in System -> Administration -> Services
and enable both "NetworkManager" and "NetworkManagerDispatcher".
Then reboot."To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday. From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow."

In Add/Remove Programs, make sure the packages : "system-config-services" (you need this one for System -> Administration ->Services) and "networkmanager-gnome" are installed.
