nope i haven't... will download and recompile my kernel... does it work with Intel WiMax/Wifi Link 5100? Cause i read from the website that there is no drivers available for it yet?
Oh... and should i use the iwl5000 ucode? or the 4965 1... cause now i'm using the 4965 one....
Another question... whats compat-wireless used for?
Thanks in advance |

I cannot say that it will work as I don't have the card (the centrino2 laptop I want to buy is not yet available here), just using common sense
use iwl5000 ucode and iwl driver in the kernel (latest rc or at least git *should* have the driver, why otherwise would intel make the ucode downloadable)
| Quote: | the iwlagn driver* in 2.6.27 / wireless-testing supports it
* which is the iwl4965 driver with added iwl5000 support renamed. |
EDIT: compat-wireless is AFAIK a new name for the old wireless stack in kernel (pre-mac80211) |

| the driver itself should be in the kernel, and the ucode is just extracted/copied to /lib/firmware (or somewhere else, just do it the same way the 4965 ebuild does it) and that *should* be everything you need |

I don't see any iwl5000-ucode inside the portage tree.
Maybe is from the kernel itself. |

please read the whole thread
iwl5000 ucode is *not yet* in portage, but is available on intellinuxwireless site and iwlagn vriver (new name for iwl4965 with iwl5000, part of iwlwifi) is in 2.6.27 kernel |

PS: Your Intel IWL5000 might appear properly in lspci (I can't tell for sure, as I don't own one) after running the following command (without the quotes): "update-pciids" and running lspci again  |

Just FYI, below is the announcement of the 5100/5300 support in the 2.6.27-r3 kernel, including the note that pciids have been given the information:

From "Tomas Winkler" <>
Subject [ANNOUNCE] Wifi Link 5300 and 5100 Series
Intel would like to announce Linux support for Wifi Link 5000 and
5100 Series Adapters under iwlwifi driver (iwlagn.ko)
The Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 Series and 5300 is a families of IEEE
802.11a/b/g/Draft-N1 wireless network
adapters that operate in both the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz spectra. These
adapters, available
in both PCIe* Mini Card and Half Mini Card form factor
5100 1x2 MIMO up to 300Mbps
5300 3x3 MIMO up to 450Mbps
Note: in 2.6.27-rc3 the MIMO and QoS features are not operational due
to recent changes in MQ. This has probably hit also other wireless
drivers We are working on resolving these issues.
The best known working driver can be located in iwl500 branch of
iwlwifi-2.6.git
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6.git iwl5000
It is based 2.6.26-rc6 wireless-testing kernel.
We will publish compat-wireless that works with this release for easy
back porting to earlier stable kernels.
The driver requires firmware that can be downloaded from
http://intellinuxwireless.org
pci.ids were already sent to http://pciids.sourceforge.net
