2012-07-04 20:52:55 Vladimir Kondratyev description 1) I have working WiFi with Ubuntu 11.10. The default installation. The hardware configuration is Sony Vaio notebook (model VGN-FZ31SR) with Intel 3945ABG WiFi adapter on board. 2) I have _VERY_ strange problem when I'm booting from USB-flash drive (Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit desktop edition). First of all the WiFi is not working and the output of "dmesg | grep iwl" command is: [ 67.309020] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection driver for Linux, in-tree:s [ 67.309024] iwl3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2011 Intel Corporation [ 67.309092] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 67.309105] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 [ 67.309125] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 67.314276] iwl3945 0000:06:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.
