 Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2008 4:33 am Post subject: Intel 4965AGN + WEP |
 |
|
What I'm trying to do is get my wireless ap (WEP Key: 028B01585A // SSID: Aeon) working with my Intel 4965AGN wireless card, and preferably have the wireless light come on in the front. So far, after hours of searching google and these forums, I have multiple fragments of what I should know.
Here is what I've found out:
Build/Kernel: 2.6.23-gentoo-r8
Tools Needed: mac80211, wireless-tools (wep-not wpa), iwlwifi, build-essential??, linux-source??
See my frusteration below. Any help would be amazing, thanks guys.

First of all don't show your key in the public 
Then unmask iwlwifi with | Code: | echo "net-wireless/iwlwifi ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "net-wireless/iwl4965-ucode ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo "net-wireless/iwlwifi +ipw4965 -ipw3945" >> /etc/portage/package.use |
After that you can emerge iwlwifi + iwl4965 ...

1) iwlwifi driver is included in linux kernel since 2.6.24. It's a good idea to give it a try (works perfectly here)
2) WEP is dead. use WPA
3) iwlwifi driver does not support led (yet)

How do I edit the kernel in make menuconfig if I don't have the original kernel source? I think I only have headers? I use WEP because my dad's wireless card in his desktop doesn't support WPA.

That code doesn't work line-for-line in terminal? Do I have to save it in a *.sh and run it? I'm really kind of new to linux.

Did you try it? Why does it not work? What are the errors that you get?
Did you have a look at The Handbook already? It's quite helpful in many ways
