Problems with Lenovo ThinkPad R60

Hello to all,

unfortunately I didn't find what I was looking for in this forum, so I have to submit this posting...
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad R60, and tried to boot Knoppix 5.2 (c't version).

*Edit*
The wireless adapter is an Intel 3945ABG

dmesg | grep ipw shows device was detected during boot:

Code:

---

ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network connection driver for Linux, 1.2.0dm
ipw3945: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

---

lsmod | grep ipw shows:

Code:

---

ipw3945      199624  0
ieee80211    30408  1  ipw3945

---

iwconfig shows loopback and eth0, no eth1, no "radio off"


Any ideas from the experts?

Best regards, Ralf
