Are you sure? I installed Networkmanager (from main - I have a WPA enabled router) and WiFi worked immediately. No need for any additional tasks.

  • Ubuntu
    • With Edgy, all you have to do is install the linux-restricted-modules-generic package.

It works out-of the box in edgy (on a Z61m) without the need to install any additional packages, so I changed this info.

  • Ubuntu
    • Ubuntu Dapper has already built in this drivers; it works out from the box.

Ubuntu (neither Dapper nor Edgy) have the ipw3945 drivers, so I've deleted the info. --Zhenech 15:19, 27 September 2006 (CEST)

According to this: http://www.digitalvampire.org/blog/articles/2006/09/29/ubuntu-edgy-eft-on-a-thinkpad-x60s-how-to-make-ipw3945-work

All you have to do is to install the linux-restricted-modules-generic package. I've tested this using Edgy - it worked out of the box on a T60.
