Dell Inspiron E1705
Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG
Router: LInksys WRT54G v5
Association fails regardless of security settings on router(s).
Module loads correctly:
[root@wizard ~]# lsmod | grep 3945
ipw3945 117993 1
ieee80211 34953 1 ipw3945
Daemon starts from rc.local script:
(couldn't get it to start immediately after module - modprobe.conf)
[root@wizard ~]# tail -5 /etc/rc.local
# Start the ipw3945 service daemon
ipw3945d
sleep 1
service NetworkManager restart
service wpa_supplicant restart
[root@wizard ~]# ps -ef | grep ipw3945d

WPA Supplicant configs:
/etc/sysconfig/wpa_supplicant
# wlan0 and wifi0
# INTERFACES="-iwlan0 -iwifi0"
INTERFACES="-ieth1"
# ndiswrapper and prism
# DRIVERS="-Dndiswrapper -Dprism"
#DRIVERS="-Dndiswrapper"
DRIVERS="-Dwext"

update_config=1
network={
ssid="any"

disabled=1
}
network={

}
For the initial setup and testing I've removed all access restrictions from the router and set it up with no encryption. It is wide open. Connections fail similarly with other neighboring unrestricted routers.
Left-click on Network Manager applet shows all nearby routers, including mine. Mine is of course strongest. When I select my router, it appears to be connecting but eventually fails. Here are associated entries in /var/log/messages.
