Debian with kernel 2.6.28
Get the Microcode
Download the iwlifi-5000 tarball with microcode (firmware) from:
Extract the contents of the tarball:
tar xzf iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz
(this filename could be different)
And copy the microcode file to /lib/firmware:
sudo cp ./iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11/iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode /lib/firmware
(the directory name extracted from tarball could be different as well)
Add repository
Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel trunk main
And update your local package index:
sudo apt-get update
Install linux-image-2.6.28-1-686
sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.28-1-686
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:
See section "How to build linux-kbuild-2.6 yourself"
