[ltp] ipw3945

[linux-thinkpad@linux-thinkpad.org]

Hi all,


I got a new R60 with ipw3945 wireless on it. Fedora core 6.  Can someone 
help me get the wireless to work?

Is there a quick way to get it to work as opposed to getting the kernel 
sources, packages and compiling and troubleshooting.


Thanks!  I will try writing up about my experiences.
