For some reason I have a hard time making wireless network work on my Lenovo ThinkPad R61 laptop.
After been using Arch on my laptop, I decidede to install it on my laptop as well, but having a real time making the network work for some reason.
Some outputs
lspci grep -i net
[marcus@marcuslaptop ~]$ lspci | grep -i net
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566MC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)ifconfig wlan0 up
[marcus@marcuslaptop ~]$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
Password:
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directoryI guess this is where the errors start?
SOLVED: I needed to install iwl4965-ucode and add it to modules=()

I had this error when wlan was softblocked, you may check with rfkill if this is the case for you.

I tried to do so, and I still get the error.
Usage: rfkill [options] command
Options:
--version show version (0.4)
Commands:
help
event
list [IDENTIFIER]
block IDENTIFIER
unblock IDENTIFIER
where IDENTIFIER is the index no. of an rfkill switch or one of:
<idx> all wifi wlan bluetooth uwb ultrawideband wimax wwan gps fm
[marcus@marcuslaptop ~]$ sudo rfkill unblock 3
[marcus@marcuslaptop ~]$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
Is 3 not the correct id to use etc?
EDIT: I've read about some modules in /etc/rc.conf, is that by any importance for me? At the moment, there is nothing in modules=()

No idea about the id's, but "rfkill list all" will show you if something is blocked atm.
