Intel 4965 Wireless Troubles [Solved]

ColdPie · 2007-10-20 16:11:13

I just got a new ThinkPad laptop. I installed Arch on it the day I got it Everything's going pretty well, but I can't get wireless working on it.

When I run iwconfig, it just says that eth0 and lo don't have wireless extensions, which is right, but it's not detecting my wireless chipset at all.

I've installed iwlwifi and iwlwifi-4965-ucode and added iwl4965 and mac80211 to the modules list, but still no dice detecting the wireless card.

I'd like to avoid ndiswrapper, but I will use it if this turns out to be impossible.

If you need any more information, I'll be happy to supply it.

Thanks!

EDIT:
Turns out there's a hardware switch that you need to turn on. Heh...

Probably Depends

I can only speak for the T61, where it is locate right at the front, near the left corner.

Ohh, you meant that switch. I thought that the switch was in Arch XD.

Arch Linux
