Maybe.

Do this:

dpkg -S  /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/updates/wireless/iwlwifi/

keep note of that package and remote it, or just do

sudo make unload
sudo make uninstall
sudo rm -rf  /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/updates/wireless/
sudo depmod -ae
sudo make install
sudo make unlaod
lsmod | grep iwl
# remove iwl mac80211 or any other stuff which make unload would not
have picked up on
# like modules from other packages
sudo modprobe iwl4965

Now you should be good.
