Xen Kerenl + ipw3945

[Justin Conover]

Does anyone know if the ipw3945 wirelss card has worked or can work with a
Xen kernel.  The ipw3945 bits from freshprms.net work fine with FC6 kernel,
but if I boot using the Xen kernel than it does not work.

Thanks,

[Daniel P. Berrange]

Yes it should work fine with FC6 Xen kernels - I'm typing this from a laptop
with ipw3945 & xen right now. I didn't use freshrpms stuff though - I compiled
the modules for current Fedora Xen kernels myself.

Dan.

Ok, so you just ran the ipw3945.sourceforge.net stuff and it added to the
kerenl, right?  Did you have to do anything with 80211 bits?

Thanks, thats good to hear it can at least work.  A lot of googling has come
up with that it doesn't work with Xen, so good news :)

You need the firmware & regulatory daemon too. The FC6 kernels seem to have
a new enough 80211 stack already, so I didn't touch that.

Ouch, not only do I not have the ability to use ipw3945 off the bat, Xen
kernel doesn't see my lan/b44 card either....

Guess I need to d/l several things and rebuild.

Sounds like a reocurrance (sp?) of bug 186724. I thought they fixed it
and was looking forward to trying Xen/FC6 on my e1405 (which has the
same network components you cite).

Thanks,

FWIW ATrpms ships kmdls for xen kernels, too, so all you have to do
there is

yum install ipw3945 ipw3945-kmdl-`uname -r`

(firmware/regdaemon and friends get pulled in automatically by yum)

Very nice, thanks Axel it works.
