== Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Mini-PCI Express ==
This is a Mini-PCI Express WiFi Adapter

== Features ==
* Chipset: Intel 4965AGN ([http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/4965agn/index.htm Intel Docs.])
* IEEE Standards: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g (802.11n '''Some models Only''')
* PCI ID: 8086:4230
* PCI ID: 8086:4229 (not actually seen on Thinkpad, yet)
* PCI ID: 8086:4233 (not actually seen on Thinkpad, yet)
* PCI ID: 8086:422D (not actually seen on Thinkpad, yet)

== IBM Partnumbers ==
42T0865, 42T0867, 42T0869, 42T0871, 42T0905 : Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN (11n enabled)

42T0873, 42T0875, 42T0877, 42T0879, : Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN (11n disabled)

(From {{T61}} Hardware maintenance Manual)

{{NOTE| Only the IBM Parts will work, any other parts will give an 1802 error on Post because the sub-vendor PCI ID is different, see [[Problem with unauthorized MiniPCI network card]] for more details}}

{{NOTE| Part numbers above will not work with ThinkPad models earlier than the 61 (T61, X61) series, even if the ThinkPad supports Mini-PCI Express. A 42T0865 card was tested in a T60, and resulted in an 1802 POST error.}}

== Hardware switch ==

Some ThinkPads have a hardware switch that must be in the '''on''' position for the radio to work, regardless of driver state:

== Support ==
* [[Iwl4965]]
* Success with ndiswrapper (on dell 640m) [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2690284]

== Procedures for using this card under Linux using Intel wireless driver ==
* http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=159550
* [[Installing Debian Lenny on a ThinkPad T61#WiFi: Intel 4965AGN]]

== ThinkPads this card may be found in ==
* {{T61}}, {{T61p}}, {{R61}}, {{X61}}, {{X61s}}, {{X61_Tablet}}

== Flaws ==
* lacks promiscuous mode sniffing capability, good signal strength meter (see notes "sharing Experience" at the bottom of link below).[[Talk:Intel_PRO/Wireless_4965AGN_Mini-PCI_Express_Adapter]]

* [[Iwl4965]]/iwlagn driver can cause kernel panics in some cases on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and Intrepid 8.10 (and possibly others). See [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseNotes#System%20lock-ups%20with%20Intel%204965%20wireless Intrepid release note] and [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27/+bug/276990 Launchpad entry]. Some sources say this is fixed in linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic, while others still report kernel panics with the backported module.
