1. OVERVIEW

 

The file iwlwifi-3945.ucode provided in this package is required to be

present on your system in order for the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network

Connection Adapter driver for Linux (iwlwifi-3945) to be able to operate

on your system.

 

On adapter initialization, and at varying times during the uptime of

the adapter, the microcode is loaded into the RAM on the network

adapter. The microcode provides the low level MAC features including

radio control and high precision timing events (backoff, transmit,

etc.) while also providing varying levels of packet filtering which can

be used to keep the host from having to handle packets that are not of

interest given the current operating mode of the device.

 

 

2. INSTALLATION

 

The iwlwifi-3945 driver will look for the file iwlwifi-3945.ucode using the

kernel's firmware_loader infrastructure. In order to function

correctly, you need to have this support enabled in your kernel. When

you configure the kernel, you can find this option in the following

location:

 

Device Drivers ->

Generic Driver Options ->

Hotplug firmware loading support

 

You can determine if your kernel currently has firmware loader support

by looking for the CONFIG_FW_LOADER definition on your kernel's

.config.

 

In addition to having the firmware_loader support in your kernel, you

must also have a working hotplug and udev infrastructure configured.

 

The steps for installing and configuring hotplug and udev are very

distribution specific.

 

Once you have the firmware loader in place (or if you aren't sure and

you just want to try things to see if it works), you need to install

the microcode file into the appropriate location.

 

Where that appropriate location is depends (again) on your system

distribution. You can typically find this location by looking in the

hotplug configuration file for your distro:

 

% grep \"^FIRMWARE_DIR\" /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent

 

This should give you output like:

 

FIRMWARE_DIR=/lib/firmware

 

If it lists more than one directory, you only need to put the

microcode in one of them. In the above example, installation is

simply:

 

% cp iwlwifi-3945.ucode /lib/firmware

 

You can now load the driver (see the INSTALL and

README.iwlwifi-3945 provided with the iwlwifi-3945 package for

information on building and using that driver.)

Unix .TAR file archive compressed with Gnu Zip (.GZIP) compression; the TAR file archives multiple files into one file and the Gzip compression reduces the archive file size.

 

To decompress from a Unix command line:

 

First type gunzip filename.tar.gz and press Enter.

This decompresses the archive.

 

Then type tar -xf packed_files.tar and press Enter.

This decodes the TAR archive and makes the the files readable.
