Intel Pro Wireless 3945

[John Dey]

Axel,

I installed using the yum install command given below.  The packages 
installed without any errors.  I still don't have a wireless 
connection.

  iwlist scan shows the device eth1 and the mac of the wap on the 
network.  Another host using fedora core 5 with a wireless adaptor 
currently successfully connected to the WAP.  I ran lsmod | grep 3945 
and get:

ipw3945			195755		1
ieee80211		54132		ipw3945

 From the above can you or anyone, for that matter, tell me what I'm 
missing.  If additional info needed, let me know and I will run.  
Thanks.

John
