You should be able to get the drivers that you need from Intels website: Intel® Wireless WiFi Link drivers for Linux*

if u got time would u give me more instructions on what to do next? thanks..

The driver for you card is included in the kernel and loading, as shown above. However, the intel wifi cards need firmware installed as well.

Download the iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.24.2.12.tgz package from here. Extract and place the files in /lib/firmware/
