Hello,
I have a HP pavilion dv5 1090es laptop, and a intel pro wireless 4965AGN wireless network device.
I have already installed the 4965agn driver included in the opensuse installation dvd.
However, when typing ‘hwinfo --netcard’ the system identifies my card as ‘Intel Network Controller’. ‘iwconfig’ command returns ‘no wireless extensions’
In addition, my laptop has some tactile controls that suse doesn’t recognize. The most important is the wireless one. It is always shining red(disabled). Is there any way to make the os recognize it?
I have installed all the hotkeys & keyboards related packages that are included in the openSuse installation dvd, but without success.
Now ill post the reply to some commands:
iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
