Hi @ all

i cannot connect to the internet.
Under ifconfig and iwconfig there is not anymore the wlan0 device. I check the following:

dmesg:

lspci -k:

01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
Kernel modules: iwl4965, iwlagn

lspci:

01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)

and under ifconfig and iwconfig there is no wlan0

Does smomeone have a solution for me?
Thanks

I forgot to say:

OpenSuse 11 - Kernel 2.6.25.16-0.1

Hi all,

I have the same problem. My laptop is a vaio fz38M and the card is reported as
“Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection”
by the lspci command.

My wireless was working in opensuse 10.3 before upgrading to the 11. The kernel version is 2.6.25.16-0.1-default.

I tried installing compat-wireless but it is still not working.
The outputs I get are the same as in cocolocko’s post.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Thanks

Here is my lspci


linux-nocz:/home/don # lspci -k |grep 4965
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
	Kernel driver in use: iwl4965
	Kernel modules: iwl4965

And dmesg


linux-nocz:/home/don # dmesg |grep iwl
iwl4965: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN driver for Linux, 1.2.23ks
iwl4965: Copyright(c) 2003-2007 Intel Corporation

iwl4965: Tunable channels: 11 802.11bg, 13 802.11a channels
phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-4965-rs'

my Kernel


linux-nocz:/home/don # uname -r
2.6.25.16-0.1-default

I was under the impression that iwlagn was used for the newer
chipsets 5100 and 5300.

It looks like with the 2.6.27 kernel that
iwlagn is now used for the 4965.

Hi gemini91 and thank you for the answer.

Do you mean that I need to remove the iwlagn if I am using kernel 2.6.25?
I tried looking in Yast but I did not find it…

Otherwise, maybe I can upgrade to kernel 2.6.27, but from a quick try I made it does not seem to be a straight task.

Please, let us know if you have more informations!

I’m a new SUSE user and I don’t know where you are getting
iwlagn from. I run the 2.6.25.16.01 kernel, and I don’t
have iwlagn on my system I also have the kernel source
installed. Here’s an lsmod showing my drivers


linux-nocz:/home/don # lsmod |grep iwl
iwl4965               139364  0 
firmware_class         27776  3 microcode,pcmcia,iwl4965
mac80211              220568  1 iwl4965

Maybe someone else will have some ideas as to where you
are getting iwlagn. As I said it replaces iwl4965 on the
2.6.27 kernel.
