After booting and checking that the ipw3945 module is loaded -
lsmod|grep ipw gives
ipw3945 195240 1
ieee80211 34953 1 ipw3945
then run the reg daemon with
/sbin/ipw3945d --quiet
ps -eaf|grep ipw gives
root 1212 11 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 [ipw3945/0]
root 1213 11 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 [ipw3945/1]
root 1214 11 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 [ipw3945/0]
root 1215 11 0 16:12 ? 00:00:00 [ipw3945/1]
root 3136 1 0 16:14 pts/2 00:00:00 /sbin/ipw3945d --quiet
root 3965 3087 0 16:21 pts/2 00:00:00 grep ipw
tail /var/log/messages gives:

iwconfig gives

sit0 no wireless extensions.
eth1 unassociated ESSID:"mdc" Nickname:"samsung1"

So this is possibly looking like the driver did not compile to a working
version? So there must be other patches I missed?
