Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 in KDE on Debian

Words by Daniel Aleksandersen on 2008-06-11

Got a Intel Pro/Wireless 3945-series WiFi card? Well, here is how you get it to work:

# aptitude install firmware-ipw3945 ipw3945d ipw3945-source module-assistant wpasupplicant network-manager-kde

Requires both the official non-free and contrib repositories. No reboot required.

Remember to apply KNetworkManager fix (This may require reboot; depending on Debian’s mood.)

Donations to free software

Words by Daniel Aleksandersen on 2008-06-06

In the end of May I made a $ 100 USD donation to Software in the Public Interest, Inc. (SPI). As usual I encourage other users to make a small donation as well.

Donations to SPI
Project	Amount
Total USD	$ 100
Debian Project	$ 50
FreeDesktop.org	$ 25
PostgreSQL	$ 10
OpenOffice.org	$ 10
SPI General Fund	$ 5

This is a doubling of my contribution to SIP from last year with the introduction of the FreeDesktop.org and OpenOffice.org projects.

I have not made any contributions to KDE, ev. yet. Though I will most probably donate funds later this year too.
