[QUERY] Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100 modules vs built-in

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear Devs,

I have a strange query.  Building a custom kernel on my Samsung N145 notebook I came a cropper.

05:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 100

If I select:

Device Drivers->Network Device Support->Wireless LAN

<M>   Intel Wireless WiFi Next Gen AGN - Wireless-N/Advanced-N/Ultimate-N (iwlwifi)
-M-   Intel Wireless WiFi DVM Firmware support

all is hucky dory.  But if I build-in these drivers into kernel (<*>), on boot dmesg reports:

[2.347954] iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-100-5.ucode' failed.
[2.351885] iwlwifi 0000:05:00.0: no suitable firmware found!

Am I missing something here - I don't quite understand why this happens?

Any help appricated please.

Please CC any replies please, I am not subscribed.
