iwl3945 no network

[Schmirrwurst]

Binary package hint: network-manager

Network manager isn't displaying any wlan at all.
If I make a iwlist, it is working.
That happend only on natty, it is working well on maverick
I tried the disable_l10n option, aswell as the hw_scan_disable, but it didn't changed anything

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:
apport-collect 756559
When reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

[Schmirrwurst (schmirrwurst)]

I know about apport, but as wifi is the only way for me to have internet connection on that laptop...

[Schmirrwurst (schmirrwurst)]

I tried with apport-cli on chroot, but didn't worked

apport-cli -u 756559

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

You don't need to disable anything or disconnect to use apport-collect, we just need it to get logs and device details.

Alternatively, could you please attach at least the contents of /var/log/syslog after reproducing the issue so we can see where things go wrong? Thanks!

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Hmm, also, since I seem to have forgotten that, please attach a screenshot of the nm-applet menu if possible, or describe what's shown: if you see no networks, then do you see an entry for the wireless device and some text, such as "device not ready"?

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

The plasma apps shows the device is unavailable (sorry, I should have clued in from the kubuntu tag). Reassigning to 'linux'.

Could you also confirm whether wpa_supplicant is running?

[Schmirrwurst (schmirrwurst)]

It is installed, I'm going to check if its running
ii wpasupplicant 0.7.3-0ubuntu1

[Schmirrwurst (schmirrwurst)]

Wpa_supplicant isn't running on natty when I check with ps -ax | grep wpa
and it is on my working maverick....

But I could not found any trace of wpa_supplicant in dmesg or /var/log/messages

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

apport-collect 756559

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

[neycho (neycho-mihov)]

Will there be some patch soon? I have seen that this firmware is dated 2009, and there are no newer versions.
