Hi there

I can't get the wireless from my Thinkpad Z61m working. At least, it doesn't work the normal way, but with a few tricks it works (most of the time)

First the output when I start the init-script:
Code:

# /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
 * Starting eth1
 *   Loading networking modules for eth1
 *     modules: apipa arping ccwgroup macchanger macnet rename wpa_supplicant essidnet iptunnel ifconfig system dhcpcd ip6to4
 *       wpa_supplicant provides wireless
 *       ifconfig provides interface
 *       dhcpcd provides dhcp
 *   Configuring eth1 for MAC address 00:13:CE:8A:95:44 ...                                                       [ ok ]
 *   Wireless radio has been killed for interface eth1
 *   wpa_supplicant will launch, but not associate until
 *   wireles radio is re-enabled for interface eth1
 *   Starting wpa_supplicant on eth1 ...

 *   Starting wpa_cli on eth1 ...                                                                                 [ ok ]
 *     Waiting for association                                                                                    [ ok ]
 *     Backgrounding ...


If I kill all wpa_supplicant processes, unload/load the ipw3945 modules and daemon, and then start wpa_supplicant manually, sometimes it works.
I noticed that different settings in /etc/conf.d/rc have different result (from working with a lot of trouble and luck to not working at all)

The ipw3945 module is started by an init-script, not only with loading the module as it was with the ipw2200 module... I always used ipw2200 on my previous thinkpad (T43p) and had not a single problem with it...

I also have trouble with my wired network interface... I hate to have a killer laptop with no networking available :'(

Anyone can help me please ? I tried everything I know, but to no avail...

Thx!
