Setup on 2008-11-22.
- Hardware Installation
- Update to 2.6.27 Kernel
# apt-get update && apt-get install linux-image-2.6-sidux-686 linux-headers-2.6-sidux-686
- Get the Firmware microcode from the Intel Website
$ wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz
and unpack it$ tar -zxvf iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz
- Copy the Microcode into the firmware dirctory
/lib/firmware/
for example by# cp iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode /lib/firmware/
- Reload the Kernel Module
# modprobe -r iwlagn && modprobe iwlagn
- Done.
- Update to 2.6.27 Kernel
- Test of Hardware Installation
- Interface should be in the list now:
$ nicinfo
- Scan for Networks, this should work now:
# iwlist scanning
- Interface should be in the list now:
- Establish a WLAN link with ceni
- Update ceni with wpagui
# apt-get update && apt-get install ceni wpagui
- Start ceni
# ceni
- Configure Wlan Interface within ceni
- Use ... and then scan or roam.
- With scan you should see wireless networks and be able to connect to them.
- Update ceni with wpagui
- Further Usefull commands
