This laptop currently runs SL-5 and > the wireless works fine with the iwl4965 module. I'm a bit confused. As far as I see iwlagn needs firmware iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode (?) # modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlagn.ko | grep firmware firmware: iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode But we only have iwlwifi-4965.ucode in iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17-5.sl5 # rpm -ql iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17-5.sl5 /lib/firmware/LICENSE.iwlwifi-4965-ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965.ucode /usr/share/doc/iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17 /usr/share/doc/iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17/LICENSE.iwlwifi-4965-ucode /usr/share/doc/iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17/README.iwlwifi-4965-ucode Troy, shouldn't we add iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode to iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.17-5.sl5? Download it from Intel site: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-4965-ucode-228.57.2.23.tgz Unfortunately, I don't have a iwl4965 hardware for testing. Urs
