    Here's a link to the web site for the driver for the IPW4965:

    iwl4965 - Linux Wireless

    A quick scan of that site shows that you need firmware loaded to get it to work. If you have an older kernel, the driver module may be different (ipw4965?). Check to see if either of those modules are loaded.
    Code:
    /sbin/lsmod
