Hello, and sorry for the worthless subject.
Compiled kernel, with the firmware ucode compiled in, the modules compiled as modules, using no initramfs.
dmesg | grep iwl
Code: |
1058:[ 3.679973] iwl4965: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi 4965 driver for Linux, in-tree:
1059:[ 3.679979] iwl4965: Copyright(c) 2003-2011 Intel Corporation
1060:[ 3.680152] iwl4965 0000:03:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, REV=0x4

|
dmesg | grep wlan0
Code: |
1093:[ 7.044642] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
|
ip a
Code: |
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 1000
link/ether 00:13:e8:d1:32:8b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
|
iwconfig
Code: |
wlan0 no wireless extensions.
|
So, the card is detected, but apperantly it has no wireless extensions.
Googling gave me a few tips, such as don't compile the modules in, and include the actual firmware, but neither works.
Any help?

Modern nl80211 based wireless drivers do not support the legacy wireless extensions any more. So you have to use iw instead of wireless-tools.
Code: | # iw dev wlan0 scan |
Some software like wicd parses iwconfig output, this needs emulation for wireless extensions in your kernel. In that case (and only in that case!), set in your kernel config:
/usr/src/linux/.config: | CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y |
