I'm running 7 on an IBM Lenovo T61. I'm having some weirdness with the 802.11 card. It's a Intel Pro 3945ABG, which appears to be supported by the wpi driver. Rebuilding the kernel with wpi support causes the NIC to be detected and a wpi0 interface is created, but when I do "ifconfig wpi0 up" I get a message that the radio transmitter is turned off. ? I've searched through the BIOS and the card is enabled everywhere I can find. Perusing both the ifconfig and the wpi man page hasn't clued me in to what I can do to turn the radio on. My google searches have turned up nothing but pointers to the wpi driver source code. Any advice/pointers will be welcome at this stage. :) -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
