Topic
An enhanced iwl3945-firmware package that works with the iwlwifi-3945
driver in the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel to enable support for
the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection Adapter is now
available.
Description
iwlwifi-3945 is a kernel driver module for the Intel PRO/Wireless
3945ABG/BG Network Connection Adapter (aka iwl3945 hardware). The
iwlwifi-3945 driver requires firmware loaded on the device in order to
function. The iwl3945-firmware package provides the iwl3945 driver with
this required firmware and enables the driver to function correctly with
iwl3945 hardware.
This updated iwl3945-firmware package adds the following enhancement:
- it is best to pair equivalent versions of these components in order to
provide maximum compatibility between them. This update brings the firmware
into line with the kernel driver included in the latest Red Hat Enterprise
Linux kernel. (BZ#534100)
Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection Adapter users using the
iwl3945 driver should upgrade to this updated package, which adds this
enhancement.
