    Wireless Intel 4965 Does Not Works on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit

    Hello guys,

    With ubuntu 8.10 my WIFI card works very well.

    But after installing a fresh copy of Jaunty (9.04) 64bit, the card is detected but does not list any wi-fi network.


    The notebook is an Gateway P-6831FX 4GB RAM, 500gb HD, RAID0 stripe, 8800mgts.

    Hi All,
    I also have Intel 4695 AGN network in my Hp DV6799ea laptop. Although i don;t have exactly the same problem as you, its similar.
    I could see other networks no problem. My own network is hidden so I selected the hidden network option and entered the name and then went selcet the WPA(don't remember exactly) encryption (personal) which on my router is WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES], then entered the password. After waiting a couple of minutes, for it to connect, it asked me for the password again, however the password that was in the dialogue was a hex string, where as I entered a normal ascii string. After serveral minutes the same situation,I gave it a few more goes with different setting but to no avail.

    So it seems as there maybe a compatability problem with the network card we have.
    It used to work ok under 8.10 however it would still be try to reconnect after the laptop went to sleep. I was hoping that this would be fixed.

    It is very strange. After pushing the killswitch to turn ON / OFF the WI-FI card and bluetooth, sometimes the networks are listed. Not allways. I think that ours cards have a compatibility issue with ubuntu 9.04 64bit.

    Well, some times works, some times not.

    I have to hard turn on / off a lot of times to iwlist scan return some results using the notebook kill wireless switch.

    Very strange.
    On ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 everything works very well.

    Re: Wireless Intel 4965 Does Not Works on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit

    With Jaunty installed (upgrade from 8.10) my wireless card (Intel 4965) worked, but dropped connection a lot with a bunch of errors like the following:
    [126774.231915] iwlagn: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000.
    [126774.252811] iwlagn: MAC is in deep sleep!


    I just updated the iwlagn wireless drivers by running:
    sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty

    Fixed it up fine for me - maybe worth trying for your issues...
