Problems with 8.10, WIFI and 3945abg intel

[mee.six]

Hi, everyone

Just updated to 8.10, and simply can't find my local WiFi-network, even when I enter network ID, I'm getting "Network disconnected" message in result is there any way to fix it?

thanks in advance,
mee

I've got the same problem today. I upgraded to Intrepid several weeks ago, then after today's kernel upgrade my wireless is completely broken. I haven't had any wireless problems over the past couple years, then today it stopped working completely. Seems like these updates weren't fully tested.

Any ideas on how to diagnose the problem? I tried booting with the previous kernel but that doesn't help. This is not good!

you might want to check these links

there were a number of issues with the intel pro/wireless 3945, up to and including a kernal bug that would totally disable it reflash it and turn it into a brick. they fixed that or so they said. that was from alpha 5 I believe.

check out launchpad though, seems like a TON of mentions for problems with this connection. http://launchpad.net

my own wireless woes are with a intel 5100 abgn for some reason networkmanager doesn't like to manage it after the kernal boots, and I have to manually reinitialize it every time I want to use it. pain in the butt if you ask me.

well, I have this problem out of a box, actually.

thanks, checking links...

On my Compaq nc8430 (lspci report 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection rev 02): with Ubuntu 7.10 (32 bit) my wifi connection was all functional, now with 8.10 64bit some network are not reachable.
This behavior is not joined with access point brand: in this moment I'm in a large wifi network (with some essid) and at 2nd floor it works, at 1st floor it doesn't work. My home wifi works fine.

My AP is D-Link, but no APs here available, so I can't tell you about other brands.

So, after trying about 5 different targets for make, it appeared that I've to install ieee80211, because mine isn't correct version of ieee80211. So, I'm having this, while installing ieee:

Updated system, even new kernel was downloaded, but no changes, still doesn't work

I'm having the same problem - after a recent kernel upgrade in 8.10 I no longer have my wireless connection listed using iwconfig - it's gone altogether. I just wish a dev would admit there's a problem...

I am having the same issue when I upgraded to the newest kernal for 8.10 my Athero wifi just wont see my wireless network!

I dont know the where the problem has occured. I have serious issues over the WIFI network and also with my local host provider. Try to resolve my issue as soon as possible.
