Hi,

My proxmox VE 3.4 works perfectly.
On the computer I use, I've an ethernet interface and a wireless one.
The eth0 is on and works perfectly, but unfortunately, the wireless one is not even visible.
- when I type "ifconfig", no wlan0 interface shows up
- when I type "lspci -nn", I see Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection [8086:4227] (rev 02)

How to switch on this wireless interface in debian/proxmox so I can use it as well?
I'm also unable to install these drivers https://wiki.debian.org/iwlegacy, as when I run the command "apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi", I get the following message:
"This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
pve-firmware

E: Package 'firmware-iwlwifi' has no installation candidate"


Thanks for your advice.
Cheers,
 
It may have been compiled for the regular debian kernel package so you might have to build it from source for the PVE kernel package.
