Since a while ipw3945 driver is now obsolete, now you have to use driver iwl3945. In root type:

# pacman-g2 -S iwlwifi-3945-ucode


Then you must add iwl3945 in /etc/sysconfig/modules. So in root, type.

Root terminal 48px.png
# nano /etc/sysconfig/modules


And add “iwl3945” at the end of the list.

In some cases you will have to blaclist ipw3945:

Root terminal 48px.png
# nano /etc/sysconfig/blacklist


Once again add blacklist ipw3945 to the list.

There is a bug with some kernels: http://bugs.frugalware.org/task/3560. There is a solution:

Root terminal 48px.png
# mv /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode to /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode


Finally to configure internet connection you can use Gnetconfig or Wicd or simply with iwconfig.
