Hello. I have just installed Scientific Linux 5.1 on my new laptop and I'm trying to make the wireless work. I have installed the microcode the SL5.1 documentation says I need (iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17-5.sl5.noarch.rpm), but the computer does not see the Intel 4965AGN card. I've also tried installing the driver from Intel (iwlwifi-1.0.0-1), but when I try to compile it, it tells me "Kernel Makefile not found at '/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.14.el5/source'". ndiswrapper likewise fails to do anything (it complains about 32-bit drivers on a 64-bit system and can't convert the 64-bit ones). Does anyone know how to get this wireless card to work?
Do you have the line alias wlan0 iwl4965 in your /etc/modprobe.conf? Is the driver iwl4965 loaded? See output of /sbin/lsmod. What do you see in /var/log/messages and dmesg? Anything concerning iwl4965? Urs
