== Get the Microcode ==

Download the iwlifi-5000 tarball with microcode (firmware) from:
* [http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads IntelLinuxWireless ]

Extract the contents of the tarball:

<pre>tar xzf iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz</pre>
(this filename could be different)

And copy the microcode file to /lib/firmware:

<pre>sudo cp ./iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11/iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode /lib/firmware</pre>
(the directory name extracted from tarball could be different as well)

== Add repository ==

Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list :

<pre>deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel trunk main</pre>

And update your local package index:

<pre>sudo apt-get update</pre>

== Install linux-image-2.6.28-1-686 ==

<pre>sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.28-1-686</pre>

== If you need the headers ==

Finally, if you need linux-headers-2.6.28-1-686, for instance to install propietary ATI drivers, then you'll have to satisfy the dependency of linux-kbuild-2.6.28. This package is not in the repositories, but you can build it yourself following the instructions at:

* [http://wiki.debian.org/HowToRebuildAnOfficialDebianKernelPackage Debian Wiki]
