I have the bug described, and also this other one probably more serious: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/+bug/146191 which is probably the same as this http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1539 and has a patch as you can see. PLEASE include the patch in the gutsy-updates. Please note that it is very recent and has not made it into the 1.2.22 intellinuxdrivers sources, it has to be applied over it.
For now you can have the fixed drivers with the following steps (not as difficult as others have suggested, in my case at least): Download intellinuxdrivers package 1.2.22 sources: wget http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-1.2.22.tgz download the patch near to it wget http://bughost.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=1264 rename it to something more sensible mv attachment.cgi?id=1264 iwldrivers.patch unpack the driver and apply the patch tar -zxvf iwlwifi-1.2.22.tgz cd iwlwifi-1.2.22/origin patch <../../iwldrivers.patch Now download kernel 2.6.22 sources, these are needed to compile the driver. The kernel headers, as others have noticed, are not enough. I think: apt-get linux-source-2.6.22 this goes in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22 unpack the sources if they are compressed (I don't remember) Now as root, go back to the directory iwlwifi-1.2.22 export KSRC=/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22 make install depmod now you should have the new drivers, installed in parallel with the ubuntu ones, that is in a separate directory, probably in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ while the ubuntu older ones are probably in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi/origin/ Make sure modprobe iwl4965 really loads the new drivers and not the old ones. Maybe rename the old ones. -- iwl4965 drops out from time to time (Santa Rosa) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
