Hi William,

Yes, the same exact thing (it can't see the networks) happens with Intel's 4965AGN card. I have not been able to fix it though -- if you find a solution, please let me know.

Subject: Latest kernel update cripples NetworkManager?
 
Hi,
Has anyone noticed this? It looks like the latest kernel update has crippled NetworkManager! It does not even see wireless network,(using Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network Connection driver), and gives the following message when I try to activate it manually:

Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; No such device.
Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; No such device.
Error for wireless request "Set Bit Rate" (8B20) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; No such device.
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device eth1 ; No such device.
SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device
Failed to bring up eth1.

System detail:

[wss@hpsl5 ~]$ uname -a
Linux hpsl5 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5xen #1 SMP Thu May 7 13:38:34 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[wss@hpsl5 ~]$ 

I use iwl3945 driver, though the system also downloadeds some kernel*ipw3945 bit (from dependencies).

William.
