ipw3945 card not detected after 10.10 AMD64 install

[Kelon]

NOOB
My ipw3945A/B/G card is not detected after Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 install.
I have gone over multiple forums and tried many different techniques in forums and guides with no results.
I have everything else working in my Lifebook S7110 using forums I've found and guides but this!
Does anyone have any Ideas?

It does not show up in lshw -c network

[Fafler]

Does it show up in lspci? Has it worked with Linux before?
It might be a OEM card with different vendor and device ID's, that isn't recognised by the driver.

Neither. It has shown up a couple of times in lshw but then disappears?

Here is my output from lshw -c network. The Texas Instrument is a pcmcia Im about to try to install till I figure out the Intel 3945.

Well, lspci only cares about which cards are physically present, so if it doesn't show up in lspci, it's either bad hardware or something BIOS/kernel/wireless card related. Have you confirmed the card to be working with another OS?

Is there a WIFI switch on the laptop?

[Kelon]

Yes there is a switch and I have tried it on and off.
Here is my lspci

[Kelon]

the first line should be the driver for the 3945?

[justin whitaker]

The first line is the CPU and memory handler.

The Ethernet controller and wireless controllers are on separate lines (02,09).

Did you try looking at the drivers for those, or try using the driver listed here?

http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/

[Kelon]

All of the documentation that I have read says that the driver is in all kernels after 2.6.24
and in my files I have

/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode
/lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl3945.ko
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic/include/config

Are these not functional or do I just need to find out how to set it up right?

[Fafler]

You should have a entry similar to

03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)

Have you confirmed the card works with another OS?
