It's hard to tell for me what could changed after ubuntu update. I would check if device initialize using "dmesg", then if interface is created by "iw dev". If interface is created problem will be realted with wpa_supplicant or NetworkManager . If there are no messages about 4965 device in 'dmesg' I would check if driver module is sill there: find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name "*iwl*" > > When I do the command LSHW, it shows the driver as iwl4965, and the > > version as 3.13.0-93-generic. > > I've been in the computer business since 1958 but are a newby to > > Linux so don't any/many of the commands and/or it's inner workings. > > Any help that y'all could provide would be greatly appreciated. > Adding Stanislaw, who is the maintainer of iwlegacy (which is the driver > that supports iwl4965). It's actually system configuration problem not driver by itself, better place to search help would be ubuntu forums or google. Stanislaw
