Installing wireless driver for ipw3945

[John Dey]

Rahul,

ipw3945-ucode was never installed.  So rpm -e ipw3945-ucode did  
nothing.  I have two version of ipw3945-firmware installed:  
1.13-1.nodist.rf and 1.13-1.

Did you mean ipw3945-firmware?  Which is the correct version.  Should I  
be able to find ipw3945.ko installed?  I don't see it.  Thanks for  
getting back.
