And what's exactly wrong with in-kernel iwlwifi drivers?
Please try the patch from upstream bug tracker [1]. Also note that Intel developer said "We will have iwlwifi driver in 2.6.24 kernel. So ipw3945 is not necessary to work with 2.6.24." [1] http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1547
*** Bug 207999 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Please try the in-kernel iwlwifi driver (iwl3945) Emerge iwl3945-ucode afterwards should get you going :) I have been using it for a few days now and it seems good enough to replace the old ipw3945.
the new iwlwifi driver does not provide me with any new functionality, as far as I can see, and there are still some nasty bugs, that make my card not work, or worse, freezes the system.However, ipw with the upstream patch works like a charm :)

I am now trying it again and also have some problems. I will try to test it and report all problems I find, but I would prefer get ipw3945 working also with kernel-2.6.24 Thanks
Okay, I have added net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.2-r1 with this upstream patch. Unfortunately, I'm not presently set up to ensure that this ebuild works, so I have p.masked it. Please unmask it yourself and report back here if this actually works for you. After 1 or 2 positive reports I'll be unmasking this for everyone. I may get to testing it myself in the next couple days too.

Everything seemed to work fine but trying to associate to an AP would fail (no errors given). The problem was that it was stuck on 802.11a and trying to `iwconfig wlan0 modu 11g` would give me "Operation not supported" or similar. So I tried your patched ipw3945 and everything works great again. Thank you!

(In reply to comment #7) > Okay, I have added net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.2-r1 with this upstream patch. Works fine here on 2.6.23-gentoo-r1. And I guess you want to ask users to report bugs in iwlwifi to http://bughost.org/bugzilla/, not to us.

reopening as this is not fixed in stable tree
Dear arch teams, please mark net-wireless/ipw3945-1.2.2-r1 stable. The only change we have made is a patch taken from upstream's bugreport (not approved by Intel) that fixes compilation on 2.6.24 and newer.

x86 stable
amd64 stable, closing.
