安装ipw3945无线驱动

1) Install the ieee80211 subsystem
 =======================
 Code:
 #tar zxvf ieee and the -1.2.17.tar.gz
 #cd ieee80211-1.2.17
 %Delete initial ieee80211 module. Although Pat said the ieee80211 module in the system was ok, but I still removed it.
 #sudo sh remove-old
 #make
 #sudo make install
 %next step is needed! Don’t leave the ieee80211 directory
 #sudo make patch_kernel
==================
 2) Install kernel modules
 ==================
 Code:
 #tar zxvf ipw3945-1.2.1.tar.gz
 #cd ipw3945-1.2.1
 #make
 %If the ‘make’ step above failed, *Please* use next command, else skip next command.
 #make IEEE80211_IGNORE_DUPLICATE=y
 #sudo make
 #sudo depmod
============================
 3) Copy the firmware to the right place
 ============================
 Code:
 #tar xzvf ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2.tgz
 #cd ipw3945-ucode-1.14.2
 #sudo cp ipw3945.ucode /lib/firmware
===============
 4) Copy the daemon
 ===============
 Code:
 #tar xzvf ipw3945d-1.7.22.tgz
 #cd ipw3945d-1.7.22
 #sudo cp ipw3945d /sbin
=====================
 5) Enable the ipw3945 module
 =====================
 Code:
 #sudo modprobe ieee80211
 #sudo modprobe ipw3945
 %Don’t forget to open the wireless button on the laptop : ) After that, do next step.
 #sudo ipw3945d
Now you can see the wireless LED light is *ON* (actually the light keeps flashing to search the wireless signal. If there is some available wireless signal, the light will stay.)
在KDE环境下你可以使用KWIFIManager来搜索、管理你的无线网络。
 命令行下输入：iwconfig 能看到无线信息了，就说明你安装成功了。
BTW,Intel有个iwlwifi无线驱动项目，给3945、4965无线网卡的。有空去试试看。
