Hi all,
Im trying to get working intel wifi link 5100 on ubuntu 8.0.4, but i
have some problems; the procedure that i follow was:
1.- I try to get working with ndiswrapper, i get the lastest
drivers availables for windowz, load the inf file,
check that device was recognize by ndiswrapper(installed & device
present), but when i load the ndiswrapper module, it appears:
"unknown symbol: ntoskrnl.exe:'KeBugCheck'; couldn't prepare
driver 'netw5x32'"
So, i decide to take a look of compat-wireless project that
support this driver(right?).
2.- I get the firmware of iwl5000, copy the firmware on
/lib/firmware, i get the latest compat-wireless-2.6 tar file, after
this,
I compile the drivers(make && make install), i try load the
driver; at dmesg it appears that ipw4965 loads perfectly but the led
of the wifi, it doesn't work and
no one devices appear to be installed.
So, someone have this NIC working? Please help me a bit. All
suggestions are welcome.
Thanks guys

Use iwlwif-2.6.git master branch. Merging into wireless-testing.git is
rather stalled right now.
If your devices is not recognized please send me the devices ids of your card.
Thanks

In general it's possible. I a little work is needed there as I've
renamed the module name.

Fix: iwlwifi-2.6.git
Oh i see, now loads iwlagn module. So, this will be soon in compat-wireless?
Im trying to get this working without the kernel compilation because
im trying to do a home made firewall with ubuntu kernel.
My actual kernel have some features that this don't have so,
compat-wireless will be perfect for me.
Thanks a lot Tomas!

Hi Tomas,
With the master branch, i recompile the kernel and it works. so now i
know that my problem is not in the NIC.
Is possible to get working this nic without having to recompile a
kernel? only with compat-wireless?
