    Re: Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG problem

    I assume the driver is iwl3945; confirm:
    Code:
    lsmod | grep iwl
    If so, please try:
    Code:
    sudo modprobe -r iwl3945
    sudo modprobe iwl3945 swcrypto=0
    Now will it stay connected? If it helps, we'll write one quick file and make it persistent.

    Let's do some housecleaning. I think it's likely that you have some conflicts going.
    Code:
    sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/ipwraw 
    sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945
    sudo rm  /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
    gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945.conf
    Add a single line:
    Code:
    options iwl3945 swcrypto=0
    Proofread, save and close gedit. Reboot and give us your report. Make sure any ethernet cables and/or USB wireless devices are detached.

    After the reboot, does your wireless work better, worse or the same?
