[blag-whereto] wireless connections

[blair richard martin]

please pardon this partial repost, it's just that i posted originally before having answered the list membership confirmation email.

i have installed blag gnu/linux on an hp compaq tc4400. everything is working great except for network connections.

right now i am connected to the network on a wired connection "Auto eth0 -  Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5753M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 21)". no problem.

however, wireless networks is not displaying (or finding, i presume) any wireless connections. "Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)". it is listed in "hardware" tab of network configuration dialogue along with Broadcom Ethernet.

iwconfig in terminal returns:

[user at localhost][~]$ iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11abg  Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Tx-Power=0 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off

can anyone offer some suggestion?

thanks
