Some people (myself included) seem to have problems using NetworkManager with their Intel 3945 Wireless card. Well, I have found solution that will end all of your woes. Here it is:

1. Edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf


2. Change the line that says "timout 30;" to "timeout 100;"

3. Save and close

Changes should take effect immediately. You do have to be patient with the connection (it can take a long time to connect), but overall it works.

Hmmm. Another solution that seemed to work better for me was disabling ipv6.

I've been battling with wireless for two days now with Feisty on a Flybook V5 with 3945 abg.

Totally resolved with http://wicd.sourceforge.net/

in a matter of minutes.

Wireless works now.. Yahoo~!
