}
Wifi LED is ON 
I think that's all.
I'd try with WPA, WPA-PSK,WEP but no connection on.
I have try to connect a "wifi point without any protection", work perfectly.

I have the following configuration and it works. I have heard that there are issues with WEP using the ipw3945 driver so I would use WPA if you can. I used wpa_passphrase to generate the psk value in wpa_supplicant.conf
/etc/conf.d/net
wpa_supplicant_eth1=( "-Dwext" )
modules_eth1=( "wpa_supplicant" "!plug" )
config_eth1=( "dhcp" )
dhcpcd_eth1="-t 15"
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="AP01"
psk=6a26f90646e06f4fb049b6876c7f2c31f0cd9f3016a656343901bf9ba466fd64
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA
priority=9

| I never had issues with WEP and ipw3945, but I also never managed to get it to work with wpa_supplicant. Can you associate manually via iwconfig? |

| Well, it seems to associate... What are you connecting to; is there a dhcp server supposed to be running? If so, can you try to manually obtain an IP via a dhcp client like dhcpcd? |

I solved ipw3945 problem with upgrading kernel from suspend2 to gentoo-sources 2.6.20-r8.
Recompile kernel with ieee802111 built. (ieee80211, ieee80211_crypt, ieee80211_crypt_wep, ieee80211_crypt_tkip, ieee80211_ccmp)
Wpa_supplicant work perfectly. |
