Unable to install Intel 4965AGN wireless card

[cipher_lx]

Hi,

I followed the instructions given in the link http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi&n=howto-iwlwifi

but when I ran the 'make install' I get the following error?

make: *** No rule to make target `compatible/iwl4965.ko', needed by `install'. Stop.

I'm not sure what this means?

Hi cipher_lx.

This part should be a warning.


NOTE: The iwlwifi driver is experimental and may not work for you. YMMV.


You may be able to find help here, if you are using 8.10.

Hi Hansdown,

Thank you for the google link. but no success... I went to couple of other sites including intellinuxwireless.org and install the driver listed.

I was able to successfully build and load the driver to the kernal. But still the hardware does not work.

I don't see wlan0 as a installed network interface. also, here is the output for few commands.

$ ifconfig -a

Here is the output of "iwconfig"

pan0 no wireless extensions.

Can anyone help who had similar issues with installing inbuilt Intel 4965 wireless on an HP laptop
