Intel Pro Wireless 3945abg For Mac

Note, this project is deprecated. The development is switched to theiwlwifi project (no binary daemon required!).

You can find the iwlwifi project from Intel Wireless WiFi Link drivers for Linux*.

This project was created by Intel to enable support for the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection adapter. This project (IPW3945) is intended to be a community effort as much as is possible. As with our other wireless adapters, there are some working constraints related to documentation we can make publicly available.

The 1.1.0 stable version (any version ending in .0 is 'stable') is available fromIntel's Laptop Products page.

If you would like to try a newer unstable/development version, firstview thisnotice and then look below for links to download and use the development snapshots available from this project.

As always, please send feedback, bug reports, feature requests and any fixesyou come up with. Please let us know which distribution you use this with, and any problems you encounter.

You can submit bugs to the Bugzilla repository available at BugHost.

In order to use the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection driver for Linux you will need the following:

Intel pro/wireless 3945abg specs
  1. The binary microcode image, available here.
  2. The binary user space regulatory daemon, available here.
  3. The ieee80211 subsystem version 1.1.11 or newer.
  4. Linux kernel 2.6.13 or newer.See README.ipw3945for information on specific options required to be enabled in the kernel.
  5. For WPA you need a WPA supplicant compatible with the latest versions of the wireless extensions (v18 and newer).
Intel Pro Wireless 3945abg For MacFor instructions on how to build and use the driver, please see the INSTALL document.

We have put up adevelopment mailing list to help in development.

You can frequently find people on IRC channel #ipw2100 on irc.freenode.org.

The version numbers used for the snapshots indicate whether a release is a stable release (ends in .0), or an unstable development release (does not end in .0).

For example, 1.0.0 is stable, 1.0.1 is a development snapshot/release.

Only fully tested and verified drivers should be used and deployed by end users. The developmentand unstable snapshots are intended only for development and testing.For more information, please see this notice.
