Default Re: Intel Pro wireless 4965 can't connect to WPA network

If you download and build the compat-wireless drivers from
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download, you will get the latest and greatest
driver for your 4965.

Unfortunately, the Intel folks have been slow in getting fixes into the code
base. I think their problems are due to the corporate culture, and the necessity
to run every change through the certification process.

If kde3networkmanager won't work for you, then you can use kinternet and it should do the job.
Thanks so much. This I did not know, and could not figure out why I couldn't connect wirelessly anymore. I installed kde4 knetworkmanager 2 weeks ago thinking it'll work better since I'm on kde4.
