Debian Lenny on HP Compaq 8510p

2008-05-06

Wireless: Intel 4965

Drivers: iwl4965

The driver is installed automatically on Lenny, but you need the microcode image from http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads. Download the tar archive iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.1.20.tgz, unpack it and copy iwlwifi-4965-1.ucode to /lib/firmware directory.

Now you can reload the iwl4965 module:


rmmod iwl4965

insmod iwl4965

Sound works using ALSA with the snd_hda_intel module.
