Fixing Issues
- Intel Wireless LAN
To get wireless working with Hardy you have take the following steps:
- Download wireless compat
wget http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-old.tar.bz2
- Untar the driver in /usr/src
sudo su cd /usr/src tar xjf compat-wireless-old.tar.bz2 cd compat-wireless-2008-08-06
- Edit the config.mk and add the following two lines to get 5100 support
CONFIG_IWL5000=y CONFIG_IWLWIFI_RFKILL=y
- Download firmware
wget http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz
- Untar the firmware and copy it to the current kernel firmware libraries
tar xzf iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz sudo cp iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode /lib/firmware/2.6.24-19-generic/
- Now go back to the driver (/usr/src/compat-wireless-2008-08-06) and make it
sudo su make make install make load
