It seems that you have disabled your wifi physically... |
Brilliant! That's it!
I found a wifi kill switch on the under surface of the leading edge of my thinkpad... And it was off! 
Now I have: | Code: |
cgmd # ifconfig

You have a working network  192.168.1.102 is pretty good |

Wmaster0 is something that needs to be there when you want to have a working Iwl3945 driver.
Without wmaster0 you have a problem.
So, yes your network interface is wlan0, don't bother about wmaster0. |

#!/bin/bash
if [ "$(/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 status | grep started)" ]; then
echo "Stopping interface wlan0"
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 stop
sleep 2
echo "Unloading module Iwl3945"
sleep 2
rmmod iwl3945
echo "Your Wifi is disable"
else
echo "Loading Iwl3945 module"
modprobe iwl3945
sleep 2
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0 start
echo "Your wlan0 is running"
fi

You've been very patient and a great help!
Thanks, again, for helping me through this!

No problem, I like to debug people with Wifi problem and specifically with the Iwl3945.
By the way, what encryption do you use ? |

| I think that you are not using the wpa_supplicant feature. If you want to use it, then I can help you with that also |

I am using wpa_supplicant, but I'm not sure I know what you mean by encryption feature.
Please tell me more...
[Edit] For my local wap access I'm using WPA Personal and TKIP. Is that what you're referring to?

No you don't. d2_racing, what I meant by "both" is that both of you should disable the old deprecated stack. Only mac80211 is used by iwlwifi. ieee80211 was used by the old driver. As you could see with a lsmod, the old stack's module is never loaded 
But anyway, having it and never loading it don't "harm", but I usually prefer to get rid of unneeded parts of my kernel |
