8086:008a wifi vostro v131

[Dr Beco <rcb@beco.cc>]

Dear linuxers,


I just got a DELL vostro v131, intel i5, and am trying to configure
wireless card.

It's a 8086:008a intel.

$lshw
gives:

lspci -nn
gives:
09:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:008a] (rev 34)


but
$ifconfig
does not show ath0 (only eth0 and lo)

$iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.
eth0      no wireless extensions.
pan0      no wireless extensions.


I installed
$apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi wireless-tools
and did
$modprobe iwlwifi
also
$modprobe iwlagn

but still no wireless found to start a configuration.


I'm using debian squeeze, plain KDE installation (pretty much new),
all updates/upgrades done, and some gnome apps installed (synaptic,
for instance).

Any ideas how to proceed?

Thanks
Beco
