Kernel 2.6.27-rc5 (as a patched kernel 2.6.26)
- download linux kernel 2.6.26
- download linux kernel prepatch 2.6.27-rc5
(http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.27-rc5.bz2)
- make menuconfig

- make && make modules_install
- cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.27-rc5
- install wpa_supplicant
- now enjoy your new wireless card :)
alternative if you want to use your stock < 2.6.27 Kernel
See http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5710211&postcount=4
Debian with kernel 2.6.28
- Get the Microcode
Download the iwlifi-5000 tarball with microcode (firmware) from IntelLinuxWireless
- Extract the contents of the tarball:
tar xzf iwlwifi-5000-ucode-5.4.A.11.tar.gz
(filename could be different)
- 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
- 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"
