This is a Mini-PCI Express WiFi Adapter

* PCI ID: 8086:4227

{{NOTE| Only the IBM Parts will work, any other parts will give an 1802 error on Post because the sub-vendor PCI ID is different, see [[Problem with unauthorized MiniPCI network card]] for more details}}

=== Also known (in IBM literature) as.... ===
* From [http://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/8/897/ENUS106-068/ENUS106-068.PDF annoucement letter 106-068], 'Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG8 wireless connection'

=== Packages ===
*{{Fedora}}
** Packages: http://www.atrpms.net/dist/fc5/ipw3945
** Helpful Thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=436357
** ATrpms yum repo rpm: http://atrpms.net/dist/common/atrpms/atrpms-67-1.at.noarch.rpm.html
** '''NOTE:''' The T60p uses the smp kernel which the ipw3945 yum install does not provide. You will need the smp kernel for your architecture found at http://www.atrpms.net/dist/fc5/ipw3945. Remove the non-smp kernel and replace it with the appropriate smp kernel. Wireless works great for me... --[[User:Herlo|Herlo]] 18:06, 22 June 2006 (CEST)
*{{Mandriva}}
** Mandriva's kernel comes with the ipw3945 module (since at least 2006.0 Update One)
** dkms package (dkms-ipw3945) can be found in contrib (currenlty cooker only, thus will probably be in 2007.0)
** Additional Packages: ipw3945d and ipw3945-ucode, both either available in the commercial distribution (or club) or from http://plf.zarb.org/
*{{Gentoo}}
*{{Debian}}
*{{Ubuntu}}
** Ubuntu Dapper has already built in this drivers; it works out from the box.

=== Linux WiFi driver ===
The most recent revision of the Intel Centrino platform utilizes a new generation of wireless networking device connected to the system via '''PCI-E''', and not PCI (like the [[ipw2200]]-line used to do). Therefore, a new driver must be used. A sourceforge-project supporting the new cards is available at [http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/]. However, as of today, the project's code ([http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/detail_desc.aspx?ProductID=2259&DwnldID=10315&agr=Y Stable Release 1.0.0]) depends on a '''binary-only, proprietary''' user-space-daemon communicating with the driver via sysfs. It is '''not possible''' to operate this device with Free Software exclusively at the moment. The license-terms the daemon is released under prohibit reverse-engineering of the communication-protocol; this will hopefully not hold developers outside the US, where clauses like this one are not enforceable, from re-implementing a free variant of some sort.
==== External Discussion ====
This issue already sparked discussions on the [http://lkml.org/ Linux Kernel Mailing List], accessible via [http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/24/266 http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/24/266].

==== Current State ====
The [[ipw2200]]-drivers in kernel 2.6.15 (and possibly later) do '''not''' work with this adapter. There is '''no mainline-kernel support''' at the moment, and without a change in the license of the required user-space-daemon, or mechanics of the code itself, '''probably''' will never be any.

==== Some comments ====
ipw3945 works with [http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/] drivers.
A Spanish summary, but easy to understand about how to install:
[EsDebian-es Forum|http://www.esdebian.org/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=18&showtopic=69543], maxim_o message (longer)

Thinkpad topic: remember to switchon the wireless-switch! But you will not be able to enable the Wireless LED with Fn+F5, it is not a problem.

One more comment: if you want monitor mode, you need to uncomment CONFIG_IPW3945_MONITOR=y line from ipw3645-1.1.0 Makefile.
