Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: yelp
There is no way to have the Intel 4965agn wireless working correctly. The
firmware installed is the last one available "228.61.2.24", wireless software
is the last available, "compat-wireless-2009-10-27.tar.bz2", (I tried all the
intermediate version during the last 3 months, without any result), but still
not working. The maximum I was able to obtain is that now, using the software
switch "FN+F2" available on my DELL 9400 Inspiron, I'm able to have the Txpower
parameter up, but lshw always display a "network DISABLE". I read and tried
practically all the available discussions (ubuntu forum, debian forum, google,
etc...), but nothing usable.
The card is perfect, if I boot with XP (using a different disk, not in dual
boot) all work correctly. I tried also ndiswrapper, but without success and I'd
like not to have to use ndiswrapper and Windows artifact to have wireless
working. I tried also the last 9.10 beta, but the installation went in loop
with a "MAC is in deep sleep" message, so I cannot do any test.
This is one of the wireless card more used and it seems very strange, to me,
that its not fully tested and supported: a great lack for a good distribution
like Ubuntu is. The strange is that I was able to have the same card, with the
old firmware, smoothly up and running using an HP Notebook. The only
differences, between the two PCs, is that I must boot the DELL Inspiron 9400
using the "noapic" parameter, and the HP no. Is not that this parameter
generate some strange interrupts conflict?
