       I just succeded to make it work on a Dell D830 laptop with this card under SL5.1 :)

       the problem was that :

Aug 20 17:16:14 catlett firmware_helper[7658]: Loading of /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode for iwl4965
 driver failed: No such file or directory                                           ==

       and indeed iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17-5.sl5.noarch contains 

       /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965.ucode

       and *NOT* 
   
       /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode

       A  yum --enablerepo=* provides iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode

       gave me  iwlwifi-4965-ucode.noarch                4.44.1.20-7.0.1        atrpms

       So I did :

       yum remove iwlwifi-4965-ucode
       yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=atrpms install iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.1.20-7.0.1.noarch

       and it works.

       P.S. The fact that it is blaklisted does not hurt.
