I believe there was some misscommunication... Thanks for the hint -- indeed, the newest uCode works both with 2.6.26 and current git... so the uCode is backwards compatible, but the kernel code is not. Should the uCode be named iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode therefore, to notify the users that they need something newer? Or can the kernel code be made to work with the old uCode again? Thanks, Dominik
