| I see that iwlwifi drivers are included in Ubuntu, but not sure if they are the right ones to work with 4965 AGN. If you need the driver, see here... Link
I don't know what you've tried and haven't. Open a terminal and do: and see if there is a iwlwifi driver loaded. Also do: And post the output here please. | |

| Let's try something...
From the command line, do: Code: sudo modprobe iwlwifi
If it returns no errors, do: Code: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
Then: ...again and see if wlan0 is a new device listed there... If we got lucky and there is, proceed to the Ubuntu wireless configuration utility and complete the configuration. If iwlwifi will not load, then I think you will then need to download and compile the one linked for 4965 AGN.
Please keep in mind that I've never used this device or driver. I'm only telling you how I would proceed if I was in your situation, which may or may not be the best way to go about solving the problem...  | |

| Similar problem with a Intel 3945
I am having problems with the Intel 3945 wireless on a dv6000 and an almost new(3 day) installation of Ubuntu Feisty. The wireless does work but it is very slow. Roughly a third the speed which it runs at under XP. I also have intermittent connction problems. Sometimes I'll boot up and the wireless card sees my netgear router, but will not connect. I turn ipw3945 off/on a couple times with modprobe and it seems to help sometimes. I thought maybe installing Intel's iwlwifi for the 3945 and 4965 might help. I followed the instructions in the installation readme which Rapid followed and got the exact same return. I read the Readme that came with the firmware microcode -README.iwlwifi-3945-ucode. Kernel firmware_loader infrastructure is mentioned in this document. I am not sure whether this is part of the feisty kernel. I am not sure how I would check this. Would this cause a problem with compiling? Do I need a newer kernel? Can I recompile the kernel with the features included. I am new to Ubuntu (3 days) but used Slackware for awhile about 8 years ago I am unfamiliar with the utilities that are used for configuring and compiling a kernel. Are there any documents online discussing kernel building? I believe mac80211 v8 is required for this driver to work as well. I did check to see whether this module was running, I don't remember how I did it. I couldn't tell what version was running though. An help or pointers will be appreciated. | |
