Intel Wireless Pro 3945abg APs not detected!

Sunday, August 3, 2008

Hello there got the above problem?
He he happy surfing trying to look for solutions.

Me too had the same problem.
All you have to do is
be the super user (sudo wouldn't do)
"sudo su -"
put
"alias wlan0 iwl3945"
"options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1"
lines inside /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945

those are the only lines that should be inside iwl3945 file
now reboot. :)

What that does is, it disables the hardware scanning and enables the software
scan. Hardware scan is the fastest and so it is the default.
This bug can be permanently removed by using a patch
If you are so much interested in that(like me :) )
Then go here.

If that doesn't work too then you might have to revert back to the old ipw3945
driver.
Try this to do that if you are using ubuntu. But I think it is same for others as well
if you can figure out where the files are.

That'd must have been a tricky one to find for sure. Glad you solved it. Now we can play Urban Terror in weekends :P
