Hi,
I've tried to get the onboard iwl4965 wlan nic working with
compat-wireless since it didn't work with driver that was in 2.6.24 kernel.
However I've followed the guide here:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download downloading tarball from
http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6/2008/04/compat-wireless-2008-04-01.tar.bz2
Compiling and installing went well, but there looks to be serious issues
using the device.
dmesg and lspci can be found here:
http://bachman.tor.lindesign.se/tmp/dmesgC2510p.txt
http://bachman.tor.lindesign.se/tmp/lspci-vnn_C2510p.txt
Debian/2.6.24
I've heard that the wlan on this laptop works with ubuntu which suprises
me after all effort to get it going with latest drivers. Are there any
solution to get this wlan nic working on my current system?
Thanks! /Bachman
