Cool.


   # lsof | grep /lib/firmware
   # _

Note:
 * The firmware is uploaded in the wireless card, when the device
   is initialized.
 * [therefore] you need to unload and reload the module (rmmod iwl4965;
   modprobe iwl4965), in order to use the new firmware. (But that should
   not be needed, if you use Debian stable [Lenny]).

 Hi,
 
 I'm having some troubles with my iwl4965 -- this is Lenovo 3000 N200 notebook
 with Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.1 (stable lenny) installed. I cannot make iwlist
 wlan0 scan work, while manually configuring the interface via
 /etc/network/interfaces works with minor glitches. Here is some background
 information.

[snip]

   # iwlist wlan0 scan
   wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
   

just something simple try

ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan

I get the same message when the interface is down
